Snibbe Interactive founder Scott Snibbe was the featured innovator on CNN’s The Next List, which profiles forward-looking thinkers in the fields of tech, science and social change. Clips are below!

Producer Tracy Dorsey brought her crew to Snibbe Interactive headquarters in San Francisco for a three-day shoot that resulted in an intimate and extensive portrait of Snibbe, who, among other projects, reflects on his recent work with James Cameron’s interactive “Avatar” exhibition at the EMP Museum, and Bjork’s breakthrough Biophilia App.

What’s next? Says Dorsey, “He envisions a fully participatory experience, one where your movements will actually change the story and affect what happens around you. It may sound far-fetched, but Scott says all he needs is the right partner.”

Titan tech magazine WIRED reprised its annual holiday pop-up store in New York City’s Times Square, featuring among others, Snibbe Interactive client Dell Computer.It’s not just a shopping destination, as WIRED’s site explains, “it’s an interactive experience that allows you to touch, test and tinker with the most ‘wired’ products out there for the digital gentleman, gadget girl, gastronaut, smarter upstarter, adventure capitalist, maker, or culturazzo in your life.”In keeping with the “interactive experience” WIRED envisioned, Dell turned to Snibbe Interactive to provide a customized installation of our popular InfoTiles interactive wall display to showcase their WIRED-worthy products.

“Their customization was interesting in that they added videos hidden amongst the tiles that, when activated, brought up animated shorts of new Dell products and corresponding characters like an ‘inventor’ or a ‘genius,’” says exhibits manager Patrick Wilson. “They’ve done it in a real sleek look with a really pared down color palette. It’s all blacks and blues and whites, which fits in well with the technology showcased at the WIRED Store.”

After WIRED’s pop-up retail experience runs it’s course, Dell’s InfoTiles will likely travel next to Texas where Dell is headquartered.

“The beauty about this sort of installation is that it’s not only customizable it’s portable and can be used in a variety of settings and updated with new content to match new venues and promotions,” says Wilson.

“What interactivity is so good for is that you have to participate, and it reminds you that nothing exists on its own: Everything is an exchange,” says Snibbe Interactive founder Scott Snibbe, who was recently featured on ARTE, the European cultural TV channel, in a long profile on his work with Snibbe Interactive and their interactive displays, and his contributions to Björk’s Biophilia app project for iPad and iPhone. This clip is a “web bonus;” the full clip is here (Scott and the Snibbe Interactive gang appear about one minute in).
