| [Nettime-bold] Re: <nettime> Behind the Blip: Software as Culture |
Very inspiring and thoughtprovoking article! About HCI the field is in fact getting wider thanks to people like Bill Gaver, and there are many interesting things going on in relation to the aesthetics and cultural/political issues of interfaces. E.g. on the concepts touched by Matthew Fuller such as the user, transparence or even speculative software. See e.g. Anthony Dunne's "Hertzian Tales" or the brilliant Swedish research group, Play, http://www.playresearch.com, who has dealt with issues such as slow technology, design for reflection and informative art. So HCI is not quite as behaviouristic as it is outlined in the article. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- Soeren Pold, ph.d., adjunkt (assistant professor) Multimedia Studies & Comparative Literature University of Aarhus Office: 5341.121 IT Parken phone: +45 8942 5654 Aabogade 34 fax +45 8942 5624 DK-8200 Aarhus N, Denmark email: pold@multimedia.au.dk http://www.multimedia.au.dk/~pold ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list Nettime-bold@nettime.org http://amsterdam.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
