Question:
1. how to apply ethnography (/phenomenology) to "cultural probes", how to apply ethnography (/phenomenology) to the study of design artifacts?
2. when to use ethnography? when to use phenomenology?
Guidelines for Design Process:
1. Interpret your data with rich interpretation, inspiration, imagination, and discourse.
2. Specify several "themes" related to the above interpretation.
3. Build "strong concepts" (in terms of 4 constructs) to meet these themes
4. Give form to these strong concepts, such as mood boards, and cards.
5. Discuss possible expressions (如何用 expression 開展設計) for your design based on these strong concepts
Interpreting the Probes for final project, each team:
1. write down your own probology rules (or beliefs)
2. redesign your probes with various media and methods, according to your probology
3. collect probing data
4. interpret the data, seek the meanings, and perhaps the underlying intentionality behind phenomena.
Questions: 1. How do we live with data? 2. How do we perceive (feel) the data we live with? 3. What is the form of data to live with? 4. How are the correlation of different data?

What is the plan for design?
How do you frame your problem?
Which method do you want to use?
What approach? Theory driven? Example based? Fictional paper abstract?
Probing Example:
"The most profound technologies are those that disappear.
They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until
they are indistinguishable from it."
EX1: Broken IT probes (Sept. 26, 2022)
1. collect at least one "out-of-date" (old, worn) IT (information technology) product.
2. speculate with the object's viewpoint
3. complete a secrete-life diary of the object
