As
designers of interactive systems (spaces, process and products
for people), we find ourselves stretching the limits of
methodological structures that enable us to explore, build, communicate,
and prototype experience. We argue that designing experience requires
a ‘re-dressing’ of methodological practice, and that
HCI can benefit from drawing on methodological frameworks that traditionally
fall outside of its purview. Domains such as performance, theatre,
dance, architecture, conceptual design, industrial design, and visual
art each contain rich knowledge and rigorous methodologies for constructing
experience. Each of these domains defines experience, experience
qualities
and attributes, and defines affordances for enacting [and re-enacting]
experience as a fundamental methodological tool.
We invite participants from multiple disciplines across and within
HCI, including kinesiology, performance, visual art, architecture,
anthropology, organizational research, computing science, visualization
and engineering. Participants are expected to be practitioners exploring
unique methodological frameworks for designing technologically mediated
experience. Participants will be expected to share, explore, and swap
their methodologies in order to construct and design experiences. Our
fundamental assumption is that experience matters. We assume that an
understanding, exploration and sharing of experience design is central
to HCI. Building experience is an interdisciplinary practice, we invite
participants to share and explore the diverse practices that contribute
to the evolution of methodologies for designing experience.
