[IxDA Discuss] Sigradi 2010. Universidad de los Andes. Bogota, Colombia.
Dear all, I´m gladly inviting you to participate in Sigradi 14th conference, which will be held at Universidad de los Andes, Bogota, Colombia in mid-November 2010. Sigradi: Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics. Conference overview: The 2010 SIGRADI Conference in Bogotá will encourage reflection on the discontinuities and continuities that characterize creative processes and project design across different disciplines. The activities involved in making products, offering services, or providing infrastructure usually require the systematic development of models, innovatory prototypes and finished products. However, it is important to recognize that currently, disruption, whether understood as method, strategy or thought process, can make an important contribution to creative, innovatory and inventive processes. Taking as it starting point the uniqueness and specificity of different disciplines, each of which has its own models, processes, methods and goals, the conference will generate common ground to enrich reflection and practice in the digital media field. The 2010 SIGRADI Conference offers the ideal scenario for people to meet and engage in transformative dialogue. Further info here: http://sigradi2010.uniandes.edu.co Hope to meet some of you here. IxDA Latin American Chapters: I would like to encourage you all to participate in this event, it´d be awesome to meet you, and share good times. It´d also be very nice if you let me know which Universities in your area could be interested in participating in Sigradi to contact them directly. Best, Leonardo. -- Leonardo Parra M.F.A.

Hi all, I am currently involved in a discussion on how research can be a part of design. There seems to be two different paths, Nigan Bayazit wrote: Some of the art, craft, and design people call what they do for art and design “research.”...An artist’s practicing activities when creating a work of art or a craftwork cannot be considered research., but C Frayling from RCA writes about how the actual design practice IS research.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Some of the non-software things that interaction designers do
At our design program we are exploring non-software based interactions with service design, interior design, social -and offline- networking (see Prototyping Social Interaction. Esko Kurvinen, Ilpo Koskinen, Katja Battarbee, Design Issues Summer 2008, Vol. 24, No. 3: 46–57 for reference), non-software based game design and others. We're also studying performative communication issues, think of an airline counter, how does the person providing the service should interact with customers? How does the flight crew provides brand-exclusive services, and interact with people? We think all those little interactions are designable, and measurable (we are having a bit of trouble trying to find ways to measure this, but working on it though) I also remember this one project, thought to make people interact with Bogotá (Colombia's capital), remotely through taste. Students mapped Bogota's downtown through taste, developed a food-based experience, and remapped it to NYC, so you could actually feel how our city is like, when you go out and eat Colombian things in NYC. This might be a little bit far fetched when you think of it as an /interactive /project, but it's certainly pushing the boundaries of it, since it's not just people with/or machines interacting, but actual cities, through human senses. : ) LPA.

[IxDA Discuss] Teaching to program: arrays.
Hi all, I have been teaching how to program to non-engineers, mostly designers, artists and a few musicians, and it all goes well until we hit the arrays. At this point, it gets tricky. I have tried a few different approaches, but since many of you here have gone through the learning process, or teach programming, I was wondering which methods had worked for you, and what do you think could be improved when you compare your learning process, to some other strategies you're familiar with. I'm using processing. You can take a look at some of the exercises here: http://design.uniandes.edu.co/medios/cursos/dise3308-091-02 It's all in spanish, but click around. : ) Leonardo.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Doctoral study in design.
Why the exclamation mark behind engineering? I knew it was going to tickle some bellies : ) What Does the Field Think about Research? rather scary. This is a question regarding how research should be tackled in design, be it interactive, product, graphic or whatnot. I understand RCA has a very interesting way to tackle research in design, and that's by validating the actual design practice as a research process, but from where I am from, this approach is getting trouble to go through classic research institutions, because it's not purely scientific, nor social-science oriented either. It's true there's a need to do research, the question here is not how to do it (maybe it is too), but how to make it understandable to those looking from across the fence. Some countries might be beyond this, but as I said, in my country we're not, and I'm trying to figure out the path as I walk. ...enroll in master’s programs, where the dominant educational model – borrowed from the studio arts – addresses the refinement of practice- oriented skills and portfolios. I did enroll in a master program with a hybrid model in the US, but in the end, final research conclusions weren't as important as the wow-factor, and that leaves me with a bad mouth taste : ( Design education as I know it from experience is definitely practice- oriented, is RCA's way the right way? Is practice what makes us designers? It's easy to see questions are arising from multiple fronts here, and to start, Jesse is putting out some good questions too. Best, Leonardo.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Information through sound.
Well, I'm not thinking of the interface, what I'm trying to do is to find a way to look at sound from a design perspective, as a non- musician and non-sound expert, I find extremely complicated to look at sound, and think of it as a useful medium in design, even though in some cases sound is critical to an interface. Let me put an example here, think of processing, a programming environment for artists and designers without the structural knowledge acquired in engineering programs. It is certain that to understand and make things with processing, there's a need for an introduction to programming, but it's way less painful than digging into C++ from scratch, if you're not familiar with programming structures. Such a perspective, put in sound, would be a great resource for interaction design, and the all design siblings. : ) -Leonardo. On Jan 26, 2009, at 6:33 PM, Aaron Harmon wrote: What are you looking at with sound? If you're phoenetic utterances and language, then linguistics and in particular the subfield of discourse analysis are particularly useful. The book This Is Your Brain On Music is a good primer for how the brain processes music. It can be a good gateway to music theory as well. Abstract sound interfaces are also useful, but often less informative - telling the user input is required (like dialtone) or as a warning (sirens and car horns or the beeping crosswalks in Oakland, CA).

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Terms and Conditions with a twist
Here some random thoughts. It occurs to me that you could do something like Creative Commons, for instance: the Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported license has a proper legal document at http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/legalcode but they also have the Human readable summary http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ where they say This is a human-readable summary of the Legal Code (the full license). I'm pointing at this, because the human-readable summary is probably what you really need non-legal people to read, and what people would be more interested in, since it makes sense, because most of us are not lawyers. The point being that it might be possible to get people curious about a full TC through a human-readable version, and it might be actually a better way to introduce people to legal terms. Best, Leonardo. - Original Message - From: McLaughlin Designs [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Monday, October 27, 2008 4:46 am Subject: [IxDA Discuss] Terms and Conditions with a twist To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am looking for sample of Terms and Conditions acceptance with a bit of a twist. Generally when I have set up TC acceptance in the past, there is a scrollable box with all the legal text followed by either a check box to say that you have read/accept the TC or there are radio button for “yes” and “no” about accepting them. In either case a person never has to actually read, or even scroll to the bottom of, the TC text. The common stuff... However I have a client that will not accept (no pun intended) this. Their legal team is insisting that the user is forced to at least reach the bottom of the TC before they can accept them. They do understand that this does not mean that anyone had read the text, but they want to be able to say that at least someone has been forced to reach the end of the text before accepting it. While I have some ideas about how to go about this, I was wondering if anyone knew of some sample that are online now that are doing this. BTW – This is not something that is arguable with the legal team about not having this capability. Thanks - Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! To post to this list ...
