week 12. material interaction and materiality

1. student presentation on Wabi-sabi cases and design principles.

PUC theme issue: material interactions, 2014. (special issue, PUC)

special issue on PUC
material interaction : ‘‘post-representational interaction design’

"The notion of ‘‘Materiality’’ is now being applied in a
number of different academic disciplines including physics
[1], politics [4], philosophy [37], sociology [8, 9, 27],
architecture [14, 39], and archeology [16]."

"These information systems-related areas have always
focused on the immaterial dimensions of our world—on
representations of things—and the differences between
‘‘real’’ and virtual, or ‘‘physical’’ and ‘‘digital.’’"

Electric materialities and interactive technology, James Pierce, 2013

a phenomenological approach to material interaction study.

representations as material foundations for organizational practice.

week 11. material talks and methodology

Understanding agency in interaction design materials, 2012. (material talks back)

Methodology for materiality: interaction design research through a material lens, Wiberg, 2013. (Methodology)

material-centered design vs. user-centered design

Questions:

1. How to relate "material talks" concepts to Wabi-sabi ?

2. How to apply Wiberg's methodology to wabi-sabi aesthetics and HCI design?
