Hey ADAers, Just forwarding some info on our upcoming workshop on July 6 in Tāmaki Makaurau. Drop me a line if you'd like to attend.
best, Luke Greetings, *Our next Digital Culture Institute workshop will focus on design and its role in shaping the everyday.* From UX to UI, platforms to products, design mediates our relationship to the world and steers us towards particular practices. Yet all too often, design reinforces dominant ways of being and doing, rather than challenging them. For this meetup, we're lucky to be joined by *Dr Sarah Elsie Baker*. Sarah is a Senior Lecturer and Research Coordinator at Media Design School, with research interests focused on design and social inequality, especially in relation to user experience, ethics, and critical design. Sarah will discuss some recent developments in design such as transition and speculative design. What are the kinds of values and methods necessary for a more inclusive, more future-oriented design? In short: *what does it mean for design to be truly critical?* She will cap off the talk with a short participatory session on feminist design futures. In the remainder of the meetup, I'll introduce a new research project recently awarded to DCI by Netsafe. *"Angry by Design" will investigate whether toxic communication is encouraged by the design of platforms.* Do particular design patterns and features influence users into being more angry? As the project is just getting underway, this session will particularly welcome feedback on your experiences online. Saturday, July 6, 2pm-4pm Te Mārama Room, Auckland Central Library 44-46 Lorne St, Auckland, 1010 *Because of limited places in the venue, please email me directly if you'd like to come.* Feel free to circulate to others who'd be interested. -best, Luke
