+  * The term Machine Wilderness comes from the title of [[http://www.andreapolli.com/unm/book_for_class.pdf|ISEA 2012]], coined by Andrea Polli), borrowing from the cultural geographer Ron Horvath in the 1960 cultural geographer. He wrote about machines in a negative way: machines are dumb, wilderness is a mess. Both ISEA and this Machine Wilderness event has a more positive approach to machines and to wilderness. There is interest to design technology beginning from the environment, where machines are so integrated in their environment that they're not easy to distinguish from it.
