Slow Technology workshop at DIS 2012

  • Posted on 3rd December 2012

I’m co-organizing a workshop at DIS this year along with a several esteemed collaborators. Interactive technologies are being designed, produced, used, re-purposed, discarded and destroyed more rapidly than ever before. With these shifts, new concerns have steadily emerged across the design and HCI communities over how the growing presence of interactive technologies in people’s everyday lives—and the values embedded in their design—might shape people’s current experiences and practices as well as the lives of future generations. The core goal of this workshop is to critically reflect on the work that has emerged since Slow Technology was originally proposed, in order to forge understanding of the challenges, limitations and opportunities characterizing the contemporary design space. Please submit something!
