week 8. expression

http://jazzliang.wordpress.com/2010/02/26/%E5%A6%82%E4%BD%95%E7%94%A8-expression-%E9%96%8B%E5%B1%95%E8%A8%AD%E8%A8%88/


From use to presence: on the expressions and aesthetics of everyday computational things

From use to presence:
1. an expressional: a thing designed to be the bearer of certain expressions
an appliance: designed to be the bearer of a certain functionality
2. "A thing always presents itself through its expressions."
3. "When we let things into our lifeworld and they receive a place in our life,
they become meaningful to us. We can say that this act of acceptance is in a
certain sense a matter of relating expression to meaning, or of giving meaning
to expressions."
4. "When we think of the expressions
of, for example, a mobile phone in elementary phoning-acts such as listening,
talking, waiting, dialing, etc., these are clearly related to some basic form of
mobile phone use. However, thinking about the thing in terms of how it forms
its presence by means of its expressions in such acts is different from thinking
about its functionality, for example, how it enables people to talk to each other
despite not being co-located."
5. "In, for instance, graphical design and many areas of industrial design, form giving often means to design the exterior of an object. This is reasonable when the object is sufficiently static and when its internal workings do not contribute to the overall expression. If we think about the material that forms the expressions of computational things, it is clear that it
is a combination of computations and interaction surfaces."

6. Assume that we will design a digital doorbell. A doorbell is something we
use to attract the attention of people inside as we stand outside a door, to notify
them that someone is at the door. There is nothing in this description that
refers to the expression of a doorbell. We can also describe a computational
doorbell as a thing that displays the execution of a certain program everywhere
inside of a compartment or a house as it is initiated outside a given door. This
is a distinction between describing the notion of a doorbell in terms of use and
describing what thing a computational doorbell is in terms of its expression."
7. "To design a mobile phone as an expressional means designing it on the basis
of a collection of generic expressions, that is, the expressions associated with
phones and phoning. To do this, we typically bracket functionality and focus on
the expressions of a mobile phone in use: How does it feel? How does it look?
How does it shape a gestalt of movements, speech, and gestures? How does it
transform and present my voice? How does it express time? Again, the expressions
of a mobile phone in use are different from what the phone expresses in
terms of being a part of my life, and here our focus is on the expressions of the
phone in use as we try to understand these expressions as a foundation for its
presence in everyday life."
8. "As an expressional, the mobile phone with a hands-free set is simply, among
other things, a “talking-loudly-to-yourself”-device. Being a “talking-loudly-toyourself-
device” is just one out of many things a mobile phone can become
as it is adopted as part of someone’s everyday life. For instance, it might
turn into a “flirting-device” that is used to initiate and ground a conversation
(cf. Weilenmann and Larsson [2001]), a “check-that-nothing-has-happeneddevice”
that is brought along just to see that no one has called, a “walkingcompanion”
that is brought when going for a walk to ensure company for
conversation, etc."

Conceptual Designing and Technology: Short-Range RFID as Design Material

1. "I extensively used the method of
moving between analyzing expressionals in terms of function, and
appliances in terms of finding expressions."
2. "To create the form-making qualities, the material properties
were analyzed to find what transformation types the material
could offer designers, by searching for variables that designers
could manipulate through the design activity."
