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.
