IM BLANKY is a blanket with an IP address. The basic v. 1.0 is self-modeling, which means that it is wirelessly linked to a digital model that registers and reprocesses its changing state in real time. The built-in capacity to situate and represent itself in space and time points to a most primitive and essential form of cognition — the sense of one’s own body. This proto-function constitutes a foundation for multiple additional functionalities that would be enabled with the use of other sensing devices in future generations of IM BLANKY.
