In connection with the submission of his PhD dissertation

Affective Experience as a Theoretical Foundation for Interaction Design

to the Faculty of Arts at Aarhus University for the award of a PhD degree in Information and Media Studies, MA Jonas Fritsch will publicly defend his research in open forum

13-16 on Wednesday May 4, 2011 in ”Det lille Auditorium” Incuba Science Park, Åbogade 15, 8200 Aarhus N

The dissertation Affective Experience as a Theoretical Foundation for Interaction Design explores how the philosophy of Brian Massumi on affective experience can be used as a new theoretical foundation for interaction design. It is outlined how there is a need for interaction design to inquire into new philosophical accounts of how people experience interactive products and environments rather than what constitutes an experience.
