It would be interesting to map the impact of Institute graduates, and the Institute's impact more generally. It takes a long time to go from conception to making a difference in the world, and in its original form Ivrea had what turns out to have been a small window of opportunity.

To its credit, the Institute did a great job of documenting (and communicating about) student and researcher projects. I was involved in this process a little when in the summer of 2002, early in the Institute's life, I was invited to act as a rapporteur at its end of year events, which included its show and a meeting of its advisory Explorers' Club. My extensive report is published on the Institute's Web site.

The Institute also seemed to be good at getting its people 'out there', to conferences such as CHI. At Experience Design events in London we also hosted a number of talks by Institute staff and students, including Casey Reas, Héctor Serrano and Victor Viña.
