In July 2003 Roger Ibars graduated with a Master in Interaction Design from the Royal College of Art in London. Here he initiates a research interest in how objects would be loosing interest in interacting with the users.

He illustrated this research by publishing the book "Self-made objects", a collection of daily objects that experience their functions. These objects investigate a new area for interaction design where things take control of their functions and therefore use themselves. The user, left behind from this interaction, can only interact witn the objects with empathy.

In 2002, Roger Ibars start to build "Hard-wired devices", a collection of re-manufactured vintage electronic devices -such alarm clock and computer joysticks- in which two cultures of interface blend: the computer games culture and the home appliance culture. The Hard-wired devices collection is growing year after year, they have been acquired by private collectors, sold on eBay and displayed for sale in London's first Interaction design retail shop, the Digital Well Being Labs.

Roger Ibars has been widely exhibiting his work and presenting his particular view of Interaction Design in London (RCA), Dublin (Digital Hub), Lisbon (Design Biennale), Copenhagen (Next05), Amsterdam (Open Source Congress), Barcelona (H2O gallery, solo exhibition), Tokyo (Pecha-kucha), Madrid (Emotional design) and in Paris (Centre Pompidou) as part of “D.DAY Modern Day Design” exhibition during summer 2005. His work has been featured in design and art publications such as Axis Magazine in Japan, Art Investor in Germany or Make Magazine in the US.

He has also been collaborating with design schools and universities, setting up workshops to teach students how to use createvily low-tech electronic components. He has been organizing these workshops at the ECAL University of Art and design in Switzerland, the Indian Institute of Technology in New Delhi , the Ecole Nationale Superieure des arts Decoratifs in Paris and the Escola Superior de Disseny ESDI in Barcelona. He has also been a Visitor Tutor for the Design Interactions course at the Royal College of Art in London.

Roger Ibars graduated in Sociology from Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (1996) and Industrial Design (BA) at Escola Superior de Disseny ESDI (1999). As interaction designer he has been working for MIT Medialab Europe in Dublin, Interaction Design Research Studio at RCA and more recently for Sony Design Center in London and Tokyo.
