Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper explores the border between technology and design (form giving) from a feminist perspective. Looking at the energy system and how it has been integrated in the household, we want to address the underlying structures that have been built into the ecology of electrical appliances used in daily life, preserving certain norms that could be questioned from both a gender and a sustainability perspective. We have created an alternative electricity meter, the Energy AWARE Clock, addressing design issues uncovered in an initial field study. In this paper, we will make parallels to these issues. We also use feminist technoscience studies scholar Donna Haraway’s theory of the cyborg in order to clarify useful concepts that can be derived from feminist theory and that can act as important tools for designers engaged in creative processes. From our own experience with the Energy AWARE Clock this approach has great potential for questioning and rethinking present norms within sustainability and gender, from the viewpoints of design research and design practice.

Effekter av ämnesintegrerad undervisning i akademiskt skrivande
- 2016
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- De senaste decenniernas breddade rekrytering till högre utbildning har lett till alltmer heterogena studentgrupper. Samtidigt har en offentlig debatt pågått med ett fokus på brister i studenters skrivande. Forskningsfältet academic literacies (Lea & Street 1998) ifrågasätter ett sådant ensidigt bristperspektiv och förespråkar istället fokus på skrivandets sociokulturella sammanhang. Litteracitet betraktas här som en kontextburen praktik (Barton 2004), som bäst tillägnas i autentiska och funktionella sammanhang (Gee 2012). Utifrån ett sådant synsätt ifrågasätts varför studenter oftast erbjuds separata insatser i det akademiska skrivandet, trots att stöd inom ämnesstudierna skulle vara mer framgångsrikt. Forskningen om effekterna av sådan undervisning är dock fortfarande mycket begränsad.Vårt forskningsprojekt syftar övergripande till att utforska effekter av ämnesintegrerad undervisning i akademiskt skrivande. Projektet ansluter till ett pågående högskolepedagogiskt utvecklingsarbete vid Södertörns högskola, där Utvecklingsenheten för högskolepedagogik och bildning, Biblioteket och Studieverkstan, som arbetar med olika typer av studie- och skrivstöd, samverkar med ett antal ämnen om ämnesintegrerad undervisning i akademiskt skrivande och informationssökning. Erfarenheterna visar att de flesta, både studenter och ämneslärare, i utvärderingar och reflektioner värdesätter undervisningen och menar att den påtagligt bidrar till studenternas skrivutveckling. I forskningsprojektet vill vi försöka få en djupare förståelse för vilka effekter som undervisningen ger. Under föredraget kommer vi att presentera en pilotstudie där vi analyserar studenttexter som är skrivna under och efter studenternas deltagande i den ämnesintegrerade skrivundervisningen.

In search for the language of light and shadows

Konferensbidrag (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Sight is the sense that gives us visual information about the world around us, and light is a prerequisite for this process. Light radiation can be measured physically with precision, but light as the experience created when light rays strike the retina of the eye is sensual, and thus both subjective, relative and complex. Like all impressions that reach our different senses, the visual experience of the outside world is created through processes that can be described from the basis of sensory, biology, physiology, perception, cognition and emotion. These processes cannot be translated into physical terms. We can measure stimuli that reaches the retina, but this gives very limited information about the experience.In the beginning, when all life existed in the sea, some organisms developed cells that were sensitive to light, allowing them to orient themselves to brighter or darker areas. This early capacity for visual information produced blurred visual impressions, only detecting differences between contrasts. Eventually, more advanced life forms developed the sharp central vision which, according to one hypothesis, appeared during a period when life had evolved into a predator prey interaction. Both these visual abilities, the blurred peripheral vision and the detailed focus vision are represented in the human sense of sight, and the blurred peripheral vision is crucial for our visual experience of the room.All the light we see is reflected from surfaces, unless you look directly into a light source. The properties of surfaces, their colour and texture in combination with the properties of the light source and the distribution of the light is what provides visual information about the room. It is through the modelling and interaction of light and colours that the experience of the room can appear with its shapes and textures, proportions, dimensions, depth and spatiality.Since electric light was introduced in our built environments about 100 years ago, light quality has been evaluated and regulated based on physical measurements, which are correlated to the human eye’s ability to register light and colour. International lighting standards for spatial environments provide detailed recommendations for light levels described in Lux or Footcandle. These measurements are based on the focus vision, which require higher light levels to function optimally. But the measurements do not provide information about the properties of the reflected light, which is what we see, nor does it include one of the basic functions of the sense of sight, which is to react and respond to contrasts.The beverage and food industries have for many years used terminologies and concept models that describe sensory properties of various products. The underlying methodology is called Sensory Analysis which is established in several different areas. Within the interdisciplinary research project Perceptual Metrics for Lighting Design, we have developed methods to measure perceived light quality for both light sources, luminaires and spatial environments with inspiration from Sensory Analysis. The project has been developed with a practice based and design-oriented approach,in close collaboration with the lighting industry. On workshops with lighting designers, we have collected words that describe the perceived character of light, shadows and contrast, and through repeated studies been able to develop the basis for a terminology to give value or measure perceived light quality in spatial contexts. An interesting and important aspect that has become apparent during the course of this project is how much light, shadows and contrasts affects the atmosphere of environments.The lecture will give an overview of the human visual perception in relation to how we perceive spatial environments, and also a description of the Perceptual Metrics for Lighting Design method and how it may be used in practice and research.

Mixing and Matching Luminous Colors
- 2022
-
Konferensbidrag (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- The use of luminous colors is increasing in design and art due to new technologies in color-tunable lighting. Our project addresses the lack of guidance when working with additive mixing of luminous colors, including their interaction with surface treatments. When using paint colors, designers and artists can draw from theories developed by both color scientists and artists/designers.However, the same is not yet true when working with additive mixing of colored light, which LED technology only recently made possible. The project’s overall scope was to explore and identify various aspects in the use of luminous colors from a perception-based perspective, and to develop and propose a basis for a perception tool box for practitioners.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Being a first time student is not only exciting, it is also like travelling to a new and far-off place. If you are already a resident, then it is hard to grasp what it was like arriving for the first time. This paper presents a project at Karlstad University investigating the experiences of first time students. 13 students from the teaching programs kept diaries for ten weeks concerning their experiences related to the first time at the university. The findings suggested, for example, an overload of information on the first day, a complex web structure, and highlighted the importance of social connectedness as well as the importance of designated facilities to help the students find stability and to focus on their studies. The project suggested low hanging fruit that could be fixed immediately and formulated new areas to be investigated and developed. Further, the information visualizations showed important in order to get things done.
