DOT DOT DOT: "The Urbanists"
The MFA Interaction Design Lecture Series
Join us for our January lecture, featuring four speakers giving four
talks in forty minutes. This month’s topic:
“The Urbanists”
New forms of public space are emerging. Through an exploration of new
definitions of urban environments, our four lecturers will examine the
time when public space is more personal, ubiquitous computing is
allowing cities to have an impact on users’ experiences, and the
design of services can truly be vibrant and meaningful. As inhabitants
of a city, these things are often invisible in the way we craft
experiences. Learn from four practitioners how to be more aware and
discerning of their presence around us.
Speakers
* Adam Greenfield, head of design direction at Nokia and author of
the forthcoming The City Is Here For You To Use
* Soo-in Yang, Founder and principal of The Living, adjunct
assistant professor at Columbia University, Graduate School of
Architecture
* Rachel Abrams, Creative Director, Turnstone Consulting LLC, and
forthcoming faculty member, MFA Interaction Design
* Phil Kline, Composer and Public Sound Artist

About the Lecture Series
The “Dot Dot Dot” Lecture Series is meant for broad explorations of
