The local climate contract : How to foster co-response-ability for sustainable societal transformation
- 2022
-
Ingår i: DIID. - : Bologna University Press. - 2785-2245. ; :78
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This work explores how designerly practices drawing from embodied sensemaking, can foster actionable systemic perspectives that allow for co-response-ability in the formu- lation of a Climate City Contract in the city of Umeå, Sweden. The paper describes the design and facilitation process of3 cross-disciplinary roundtable conversations that build on notions of thriving together, making kin and commoning. The main aim is to contribute to creating alternative collab- orative practices that develop means to acknowledge the complexity of — and our entanglement with — systemic challenges. Such practices are necessary for addressing the mission-driven approach that the public sector in Europeis adopting. The outcomes of this research point toward three elements that might foster such an ability to respond together and propose ways for building resilient collaborative practices: (1) stimulating the emergence of situated knowl- edge to be shared and used, (2) creating legitimacy within the ecosystem through an embodied exploration of the systemic perspective, and (3) cultivating trans-disciplinary interconnectedness of actors through aesthetics.

Making Access : Increasing Inclusiveness in Making
- 2022
-
Ingår i: CHI EA '22. - New York, NY, USA : Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). - 9781450391566

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this one-day workshop we are going to make access. We aim to counteract the phenomenon that access to making (e.g., in makerspaces, fablabs, etc.) is not equally distributed, with certain groups of people being underrepresented (e.g., women∗1). After brief introductions from participants and a set of three impulse keynotes, we will envision and "make"interventions together, such as speculative or provocative objects and actions. The workshop takes a constructive stance with the goal to not rest on empirical and theoretical findings or individual experiences, but to translate those into viable interventions. These serve as exemplars of findings with the clear goal of being deployed soon after.

Civic forges : weaving neighbourhoods
- 2014
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Our society is faced with a number of major challenges. Critical matters like financial tension, pollution, and safety and health issues prove to be difficult to solve with just one simple answer. In many cases these major challenges cannot be unravelled by traditional means and solutions, but require a radical approach to move towards a more sustainable and balanced society.To reach a new equilibrium we need to confront today’s challenges by exploring new ways of thinking and working. By doing so, it is necessary to develop new frameworks, methods, and tools in order to come up with new systematic designs, which create opportunities to transform our society.

Design Research and Innovation Framework for Transformative Practices
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Strategies for Change. - Glasgow : Glasgow Caledonian University. - 9789727894826
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this chapter, the concept of Transformative Practices is introduced, i.e. shared relative steady ways of living and working with others (Wittgenstein, 1993), including specific configurations of actions, norms and knowledge (Freeman et al., 2011) and related tools and environments, focused at addressing our societal challenges, by transforming (elevating) our personal and social ethics and related behaviour through designing new ways of interaction with each other and the world. Through design research and innovation within these practices, we work together towards social-cul- turally, environmentally and economically sustainable communities.

Soma-based design theory
- 2017

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Movement-based interaction design is increasingly popular, with application domains ranging from dance, sport, gaming to physical rehabilitation. In a workshop at CHI 2016, a set of prominent artists, game design-ers, and interaction designers embarked on a research journey to explore what we came to refer to as "aesthetics in soma-based design". In this follow-up work-shop, we would like to take the next step, shifting from discussing the philosophical underpinnings we draw upon to explain and substantiate our practice, to form our own interaction design theory and conceptualisations. We propose that soma-based design theory needs practical, pragmatic as well as analytical study -- otherwise the felt dimension will be missing. We will consider how such tacit knowledge can be articulated, documented and shared. To ground the discussion firmly in the felt experience of our own practice, the work-shop is organised as a joint practical design work session, supported by analytical study.

The Blue Studio : Designing an Interactive Environmentfor Embodied Multi-Stakeholder Ideation Processes
- 2017
-
Ingår i: TEI 2017 - Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied Interaction. - New York, NY, USA : Association for Computing Machinery, Inc. - 9781450346764
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper describes the process of designing the Blue Studio: An interactive space for embodied multi-stakeholder ideation processes. Inspired by embodied sensemaking - the way people make sense of things through external expression and interaction with other people - we iteratively designed material, interactive and spatial interventions in the Blue Studio and evaluated them with multi-stakeholder participants in various studies. Thereupon, we analyzed the impact of the design interventions, based on the seven principles to design for embodied sensemaking and highlighted opportunities for refining our interactive space for embodied ideation. Based on the insights gained, a final design of the Blue Studio was realized and evaluated on functionality.

[X]Changing Perspectives : An Interactive System for Participatory Sensemaking
- 2017

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Public issues are complex: they concern many different stakeholders who have conflicting stakes and are involved from their unique perspective. Working on public issues requires an open process that allows stakeholders to not only contribute to decision-making but also to take up a role in the process. We propose [X]Changing Perspectives, a product service system that stimulates participatory sensemaking: the joint construction of meaning between individuals that could not have been reached on their own. We visually demonstrate the designed materials and service elements and discuss the promise of our approach to [X]CP for complex design challenges in public issues.

Embodying culture : Interactive installation on women’s rights
- 2015
-
Ingår i: First Monday. - : First Monday. - 1396-0466. ; 20:4
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The paper describes an interactive installation exploring perspectives on women’s rights, triggering visitors’ personal reflections through an immersive experience. Starting from the life histories of the women depicted in three paintings from fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth century, we explored three themes: emancipation, self-determination and violence. In the installation, representations of these three paintings were fragmented into panels, floating in the space suspended from a self-standing structure. On these elements, both the original painting and a writhing of visual material were dynamically displayed using a projector. The presence and movement of visitors in the room was tracked by means of a Kinect™ camera and influenced both the position and movements of the panels. A software crawler monitored discussions and debates on social networks. The intensity of these discussions was reflected in the movements of the panels and the content of the projections. The purpose of this interactive installation is to engage visitors in composing a harmonious picture of the complex domain of women’s rights. The experiential form confronts visitors with the opinions of other people debating the theme worldwide. The installation was the outcome of a craft-inspired learning module, grounded on constructivism and reflective practice.

Instilling cultural values through bodily engagement with human rights
- 2013. - 6
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The paper presents vision, approach and outcomes of "Light through Culture", an international design school that aims at weaving, through design, innovative technologies and culture into a new canvas for making and thinking [6]. In this paper we present in particular the second edition of the school that explored the theme of human rights and designed ways of eliciting the exposure of their violation, with the realization of an experiential path through five interactive spaces, in an exhibition called "Experiencing Human Rights". The students built this interactive path to elicit a rich experience and unfold new opportunities for meaning to be elaborated by visitors. Story telling was used, as a way of creating a holistic experience that was not just based on the narration of facts but also exploited feelings and deep cultural values through embodied interaction. Based on the student's craftsmanship and their different cultural and educational backgrounds, they opened up a reflection on human rights, both in their own process, as well as for the visitors during the exhibition. The students' learning activity held Making in its core, and students were encouraged, through cycles of reflection-on-action, to develop their personal point of view, to take responsibility for it and present the designed exhibition to the visitors, inviting them to be bodily engaged and to reflection.
