Workshop on "Designing for Performative Interactions in Public Spaces"

As part of the Ubicomp2010 conference taking place in Copenhagen 26-29 Sept, members of DUL are co-organising the workshop "Designing for Performative Interactions in Public Spaces".

Deadline for application to participate is approaching fast, read more on the workshop website.

Building on the assumption that every human action in public space has a performative aspect, this workshop seeks to explore issues of mobile technology and interactions in public settings. We will examine the design of performative technologies, the evaluation of user experience, the importance of spectator and performer roles, and the social acceptability of performative actions in public spaces.

South Korea: Technology Tiger with Global Challenges

Download PDF: South Korea: Technology Tiger with Global Challenges (10 pages, in Danish only)

South Korea has gone through an incredible evolution in just a few decades, with a world-class export of electronics, cars and ships playing a central role. But despite the many successes there are also challenges. Based on fresh examples, this analysis by Martin Brynskov suggests that South Korea's continued success is about much more than technology and economy.

Heritage Matters in Interaction Design

Invited Talk: Professor Elisa Giaccardi, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid
June 14, 2010 kl.13.00 – 14.30
IT-Parken Katrinebjerg, Wiener-bygningen, lok 026


Heritage matters are starting to emerge as an important domain for interaction design. Yet we are often stuck with traditional museological frameworks, failing to understand the nature of heritage as cultural process. In this talk I will argue that the means of heritage engagement and production are built not only in space (e.g., the museum exhibition, the heritage site or the natural environment) but also—naturally—over time, where the past can be projected in the present and in the future.
