Agonistic participatory design : working with marginalised social movements
- 2012
-
In: CoDesign - International Journal of CoCreation in Design and the Arts. - : Taylor & Francis. - 1571-0882 .- 1745-3755. ; 8:2-3, s. 127-144
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Participatory design (PD) has become increasingly engaged in public spheres and everyday life and is no longer solely concerned with the workplace. This is not only a shift from work-oriented productive activities to leisure and pleasurable engagements, but also a new milieu for production and ‘innovation’. What ‘democratic innovation’ entails is often currently defined by management and innovation research, which claims that innovation has been democratised through easy access to production tools and lead-users as the new experts driving innovation. We sketch an alternative ‘innovation’ practice more in line with the original visions of PD based on our experience of running Malmö Living Labs – an open innovation milieu where new constellations, issues and ideas evolve from bottom–up long-term collaborations among diverse stakeholders. Three cases and controversial matters of concern are discussed. The fruitfulness of the concepts ‘agonistic public spaces’ (as opposed to consensual decision-making), ‘thinging’ and ‘infrastructuring’ (as opposed to projects) are explored in relation to democracy, innovation and other future-making practices.

Amendments and Frames : The Women Making History Movement and Malmö Migration History
- 2018
-
In: Crossings. - : Intellect Ltd.. - 2040-4344 .- 2040-4352. ; 9:2, s. 265-287
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article explores existing and emerging frames of writing history involving a push for new modes of telling and writing history/histories. This, from the point of view of a recent movement, in short named Women Making History, launched in Malmö, Sweden in 2013 aiming to cover a 100-year period, from when immigration began until the present day. The movement - engaged in activism and archival work and research around the lives and work of women immigrants in the city - took off in 2013 with support from authors engaged in a Living Archives research project, and formally ended, though some activity continues, with a book publication in 2016. With the initiator of the movement Feminist Dialogue Malmö University researchers (mainly the two authors and students) have been documenting activities and workshops over hree years, revealing the voicing of ambivalent identities that wish to maintain a plurality and openness of identifications and directions. These voices do not want to be framed as ‘outsiders’, ‘homogenized others’ or ‘victimised strangers’, and struggle with a feeling of being amended to a more homogenous national history – an ambiguous predicament which is investigated in this article through diverse ways of trying to understand how belonging is developed in the notions of multidirectionality, multilogues, amendments and re/framing.

City Symphony Malmö: the spatial politics of non-institutional memory
- 2016
-
In: Journal of Media Practice. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1468-2753 .- 2040-0926. ; 17:2-3, s. 138-156
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- City Symphony Malmö was a collaborative documentary that engaged citizens of Malmö in recording short film sequences. The Symphony’ video material was also performed at the art and performance centre Inkonst where electronic musicians improvised to VJ’s digital and analogue live mixing of the material. A remediation of the performance was streamed live on the Internet with live footage from the performance. All clips were released under the creative commons licence and made available for remixing through The Pirate Bay. This article explores what it can imply to hand over the means of film production to citizens. The discussion concentrates on participatory and spatially distributed filmmaking and screening of non-institutional memories, produced in the symphony. The analysis merges influence from silent cinema and Soviet Montage [Vertov, Dziga. 1929. A Man with a Movie Camera. Documentary/City Symphony Film], theories of public memory [e.g. Casey, Edward. 2004. “Public Memory in Place and Time.” In Framing Public Memory, edited by Kendall R. Phillips, 17–46. Tuscaloosa: University of Alabama Press; Young, David E. 2000. At Memory’s Edge. New Haven, CT: Yale University Press; Bodnar, John. 1992. Remaking America: Public Memory, Commemoration, and Patriotism in the Twentieth Century. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press], new media [Jenkins, Henry. 2006. Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide. New York: New York University Press; Manovich, Lew. 2001. The Language of New Media. Cambridge: MIT Press.] and place [Appadurai, Arjan. 1996. Modernity at Large. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press; Lefebvre, Henri. (1974) 1991. The Production of Space. Translated by D. Nicholson-Smith. Oxford: Blackwell Publishers; Harvey, David. 1993. “From Space to Place and Back Again.” In Mapping the Futures: Local Cultures, Global Exchange, edited by Jon Bird, Barry Curtis, Tim Putnam, George Robertson, and Lisa Tickner, 3–29. London: Routledge]. It describes the complexities of creating non-institutional memory and archiving practices and argues that such citizen-driven and non-institutional memories may challenge official history and societal memory production, yet also reproduce typical and iconic images which reveal spatio-material hierarchies. Such complexities demonstrate the value of an analysis of participation and spatio-material dimensions of public memory as unfolded in the article.

Hospitalisation and Spatial Vagueness: Patients’ Sense of Plasticity in a Care Environment
- 2017
-
In: Caring Architecture: Institutions and Relational Practices. - Newcastle upon Tyne : Cambridge Scholars Publishing. - 9781443898966 ; , s. 33-49
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Hospitalised patients are faced with a brute reorientation of their normal spatial needs and preferences and are forced to adjust spatially, so they start to re-arrange their own situation according to personal needs and site-specific circumstances. This re-arrangement includes material re-positioning of institutional objects and private things, but also adjusting to the presence and needs of hospital staff and other patients. Different types of spatial restraints and opportunities may emerge in this alignment with the hospital culture and thus patients’ preferences and spatial production within this environment need to be further investigated. Patients may need not only to produce a space of their own that allows subjective and intersubjective building of territories, but also to retain a certain movement of freedom in relation to the firmness of the socio-spatial programme and the architecture that exists in hospital wards. This chapter presents an investigation of patients’ socio-spatial concerns and preferences when hospitalised. The results indicate that more attention could be paid to patients’ concerns and preferences as regards spatial flexibility, reflecting the existential necessity for vagueness as an ingredient of space and the enacted experience of plasticity as the ability to give and take form. This leads on to the conclusion that applied concepts of space and the design of hospitals could take into account a more varied range of everyday space production according to those occupying the space.

How the lion learned to moonwalk and other stories on how to design for classical music experiences
- 2014
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Live classical music is facing considerable challenges. How can philharmonic orchestras, organizations that are heavily rooted in the past, become more democratic and better connected to the societies they are situated in? Through collaboration across institutional borders and knowledge domains, the Designing Classical Music Experiences project had the ambition to develop new spatial and mediated audience experiences, and to reach new audiences in the Øresund Region. The vision was nothing less than to democratize classical music. One of the premises of the project was to involve musicians, designers, researchers, students, audience members – and many others – in the design- and development processes. Another premise was to enhance and extend the concert experience through visualizations and other types of visual arts. A number of conclusions related to ‘organizational challenges’, ‘audience engagement’, and ‘media and technologies’ are presented and further developed in this book. The first section of the book accounts for two perspectives on how to work with live classical music and audiences from a designer’s point of view. The second section of the book give detailed accounts of the most high-profiled case studies the project has worked with.

Managing Collaborative Critique in Times of Financialisation Capitalism
- 2017
-
In: PARSE. - 2002-0511. ; :5, s. 93-110
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Management is an integral aesthetic-political-economic aspect of design practices, whether conducted as research or as part of a professional practice. It includes situated coordination of partnerships made up of heterogeneous socio-material entities. Such coordination through modes of assembly and decision-making is essential when devising more democratic forms of co-design and collaborative critique. The article compares and contrasts assemblies that operate within dominant social systems through consensual processes with assemblies that operate outside of the dominant regime. Those that operate within dominant social systems through affirmative and additive critique have difficulty accounting for substantial change, and at best can engage in minor reformist aesthetic-political changes. Additive and affirmative ways of working also tend to hide the violence they produce. Those that operate outside of the dominant social system by negating, delinking and disaffirming established infrastructures through the development of new formations – re-assembling and re-infrastructuring – account for the violence of their critique and can empower marginalised positions. The article also contrasts collaborative critique through assemblies that focus on local dense actor-networks with those that acknowledge meso-level issues related to wider aesthetic-political-economic relations. What type of assemblies are devised, how does the scope of the site of intervention and the level of analytical abstraction orient what aspects of the issue worked on can be re-made?

Mediating Memory : strategies of interaction in public art and memorials
- 2011
-
In: Journal of Arts & Communities. - : Intellect Ltd.. - 1757-1936 .- 1757-1944. ; 3:1
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Abstract The article addresses how a selection of participatory art and memorial projects have engaged with public memory and interaction. The intention has to been to explore the tension between the artists’ strategies - and the actual life span and use of the art works by its audiences. The authors interviewed the artists Esther Shalev- Gerz, Alfredo Jaar and Rafael Lozano Hemmer (during 2008 and 2009) and examined specific works. In addition, one of the literally ‘ground-breaking’ works of process art by Robert Smithson, Partially Buried Woodshed, was included in the analysis of cases that have provoked interesting social or collective memory debates and community interaction around public art.

Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The PARSE journal issue on Migration inquires into the embodied, affective, performative, material, visual, and spatial politics of cross-border human mobilities, through arts/design as well as migration scholars. The journal issue is an encounter between artist and migration scholars as we believe that both address and struggle with a crisis of representation when it comes to migration, which should not be confused with over-simplified discourse regarding a “crisis” of borders and migration.

On the spot experiments within healthcare
- 2004
-
In: PDC 04: Proceedings of the eighth conference on Participatory design. - New York, New York, USA : ACM Digital Library. ; , s. 93-101
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper reports the value of On the Spot Experiments with self-produced content and the use of technology within healthcare. On the Spot Experiments are experiments conducted in the setting of on going clinical work and patient care. We begin by relating our work to approaches within ethnography and work place studies which link ethnography and design. Thereafter we describe how we have carried out On the Spot Experiments in two projects where we have explored the possibilities of self-produced learning material. The first project described is within an intensive care unit setting where the staff and designers explored the making of self-produced videos on different procedures and their use in handheld computers. The second project described focuses on patient learning at a hand surgery clinic where we explored the possibilities of individualised video training instructions. In both cases the On the Spot Experiments have shown fruitful results in different aspects of clinical work and how the use of content and technology might affect this work. A key factor has been exploring what relevant content could be. We conclude by outlining some qualities and limits of doing On the Spot Experiment

Open-ended participatory design as prototypical practice
- 2008
-
In: CoDesign - International Journal of CoCreation in Design and the Arts. - : Taylor & Francis. - 1571-0882 .- 1745-3755. ; 4:2, s. 85-99
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article argues in favour of seeing co-design as an open-ended exploration where prototypical practices are explored that engender favourable conditions for ongoing negotiation of meaning. Participatory design approaches to designing for specific practices are reviewed with particular focus on how to handle constantly evolving practices, where some design researchers argue for creating open and flexible technical systems while others emphasise design as primarily concerned with questions of changing practices. By discussing an extended participatory design project in which new ways of engaging in informal learning through self-produced videos were explored in an intensive care unit, I argue first and foremost for viewing co-design as prototypical practice which is explored through an open-ended exploration of possibilities. Second, I argue that a focus on practice necessarily requires in situ explorations to see if the proposed design explorations invoke relevant prototypical practices in the midst of work. Third, I argue that a focus on practice entails viewing tools as temporary props for various settings, rather than as central features that define the settings of learning, knowing and working.

Participatory design and “democratizing innovation”
- 2010
-
In: PDC '10: Proceedings of the 11th Biennial Participatory Design Conference. - New York, NY, USA : ACM Digital Library. ; , s. 41-50
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Participatory design has become increasingly engaged in public spheres and everyday life and is no longer solely concerned with the workplace. This is not only a shift from work oriented productive activities to leisure and pleasurable engagements, but also a new milieu for production and innovation and entails a reorientation from “democracy at work” to “democratic innovation”. What democratic innovation entails is currently defined by management and innovation research, which claims that innovation has been democratized through easy access to production tools and lead-users as the new experts driving innovation. We sketch an alternative “democratizing innovation” practice more in line with the original visions of participatory design based on our experience of running Malmö Living Labs - an open innovation milieu where new constellations, issues and ideas evolve from bottom-up long-term collaborations amongst diverse stakeholders. Two cases and controversial matters of concern are discussed. The fruitfulness of the concepts “Things” (as opposed to objects), “infrastructuring” (as opposed to projects) and “agonistic public spaces” (as opposed to consensual decision-making) are explored in relation to participatory innovation practices and democracy.

Partitioning Vulnerabilities: On the Paradoxes of Participatory Design in the City of Malmö
- 2020
-
In: Vulnerability in Scandinavian Art and Culture. - Cham : Palgrave Macmillan. - 9783030373818 - 9783030373849 - 9783030373825 ; , s. 247-266
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this chapter, Björgvinsson and Keshavarz challenge the claims of Scandinavian participatory design in initiating bottom-up change, democratic engagement and overcoming the vulnerabilities of marginal groups. By following its trajectory from its engagement with trade unions in the 1970s to local communities in the 2000s and beyond, the chapter problematizes participatory design’s presuppositions in relation to vulnerabilities associated with different groups. Through analysing a participatory design project where Björgvinsson was involved, the authors show how the call to and the process of participation always happen in an already partitioned world. As such, they argue participation does not necessarily give equal voices to participating parts, as frequently claimed but, rather, produce new parts, ignore certain other parts and lift up particular parts depending on the power relations involved. The chapter concludes that participatory methods not only generate less recognized vulnerabilities, but also ignore the resistance made by vulnerable groups against uneven participation.

Prototyping Futures
- 2012
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Prototyping Futures gives you a glimpse of what collaborating with academia might look like. Medea and its co-partners share their stories about activities happening at the research centre – projects, methods, tools, and approaches – what challenges lie ahead, and how these can be tackled. Examples of highlighted topics include: What is a living lab and how does it work? What are the visions behind the Connectivity Lab at Medea? And, how can prototyping-methods be used when sketching scenarios for sustainable futures? Other topics are: What is the role of the body when designing technology? What is collaborative media and how can this concept help us understand contemporary media practices? Prototyping Futures also discusses the open-hardware platform Arduino, and the concepts of open data and the Internet of Things, raising questions on how digital media and connected devices can contribute to more sustainable lifestyles, and a better world.

Socio-material mediations : learning, knowing and self-produced media within healthcare
- 2007
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The thesis discusses lessons learned and issued raised when exploring how self-produced rich media can facilitate sharing of meaning between healthcare professionals at an intensive care unit and between healthcare professionals and patients within a hand surgery clinic. Design experiments conducted at the intensive care unit focused on how healthcare professionals could collaboratively produce ‘best practice’ videos displayed on handheld devices and accessed through barcodes placed out in the unit. The making of the videos it is argued can be seen as a temporary convergence of different views when reifying ‘best practice.’ Design experiments conducted at the hand surgery clinic focused on how healthcare professional and patients collaboratively could produce, during consultations, rich media documents that are tailored to the patients’ specific needs. The rich media documents made can be seen as a temporary convergence of two distinct practices; namely that of hand surgery treatment and the practice of everyday life. Making of rich media documents in both projects resulted in developing relational spaces of informal learning, which engendered the making of rich reifications that function well in close relation to participation. To engender the making of the rich media documents demanded the establishment and hardening of a socio-technical infrastructure which can be seen as a temporary convergence between tools and practices where both the tools and practices are changed. In both cases using these videos in turn demanded that the videos, a form of local collaborative hardenings, needed to be translated anew and so to speak “defrosted.” The design consequences are that designers need to acknowledge materiality as an ongoing process which is given meaning through participation over time within and across communities of practice. Materiality and human agency in this instance are not seen as discrete elements, but rather highly intertwined. The second design consequence is that we need to acknowledge the complexity, partiality, and multiplicity of such relational spaces. Methodologically, the consequences are that it is important to consider where the designers position themselves and the artifacts in the network of relations, since different positioning will have different implications for the subsequent spaces of action.

TILLBLIVELSER : En trasslig berättelse om design som normkritisk praktik
- 2017
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The increasing awareness of norm-critical perspectives (in society, academia and industry) brings with it the need to develop methods to ensure they can be implemented in practice. This thesis discusses how the role of design contributes to and maintains norms, and shows how design as a norm critical practice has great potential to bridge the gap between theory and practice in norm-critical work. This potential lies in using design as a peda-gogic tool that can concretize and make understandable what would otherwise be perceived as complex, unclear or remote. The thesis pays special attention to the role of artefacts in the creation of the stories of the world. The discursive design thing is introduced as a tool to visualize norms and to create discussion. The three-dimensional, physical thing exposes us to a more diverse experience of norms than when we just address them in words or pictures.The empirical work in this thesis stems from five research projects that differ from each other and were carried out under varied conditions. The projects have tackled a range of problems and power relationships. However, together they draw a complex picture of how norms arise, overlap and constantly change over time, place and space – and how design can be used to support or disrupt this process.By revisiting the projects, it becomes clear how the researcher’s position and actions (or non-actions) shape the norm development process. This results in an insight that meaning can not be construc-ted from an outside perspective, but is a constant ”becoming” that occurs in an entanglement of relationships arising between different bodies, both human and non-human. As a norm critical perspective implies paying attention to power relationships, it also assumes a power critical approach to the production of meaning extracted from the norm-critical work, and that we – as researchers and designers – take responsibility for our prevail by highlighting our own bodies and gaze.The thesis therefore proposes the concept of diffraction as an approach to the production of meaning in norm critical design practices. A diffractive approach enables an understanding of how the production of meaning occurs in various coincidences, but also how our own interventions shape the story. It opens up to the realization that parallel narratives are possible and thus becomes a tool to break away from the linear understanding framework and offer an exploration of alternative thought patterns. A diffractive approach to the production of meaning is thus also a tool to pro-mote increased creativity.

Negotiating Tensions : Designers’ responsibilities in democratic entanglements
- 2021
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This thesis concerns the roles and responsibilities of designers when we design workshops with democratic ambitions. Reflecting on my experiences from making co-design workshops for citizen participation to support sustainable urban development in municipal planning processes, I inquire into designers’ societal entanglements and explore these from democratic, social, political and designerly perspectives. Designing workshops in municipal planning processes made me curious about the diverse interpretations and practices of democracy. Seeking to make sense of my role in relation to these, I trace intertwinements between design and democracy. I reflect on how industrial designers’ roles are historically entangled with market-driven relations, formed by production and consumption. I also look at how political theory and philosophy articulate tensions within democracy, and criticise neoliberal political rationality for erasing the tension between democracy and capitalism. As designers are entangled in past and present relations affecting our roles and practices, we are affected by, but also influence, what we engage with. Designers who engage with democratic concerns navigate these tensions and thus affect how democracy is practiced. My inquiry into these perspectives led me to argue for designers’ responsibilities and for the need to reorient our practices to respond to democratic issues. Responsibilities need to be articulated in relation to tensions, as well as from within our practices; tensions can help us consider how we orient our practices – in relation to whom, what and where we design. As our relations also form our response-abilities, these reorientations also reshape our abilities to respond in practice, critically and carefully. I propose three concerns to support designers, design students and design researchers in orienting their practices, arguing that it is important to reflect on the concerns of entanglements, tensions, and responsibilities. These concerns focus on designers’ potential of making, on tentatively engaging with and curiously proposing things. My contribution and making of theory are thus for designers to make sense of and take responsibility for in relations shaped through our own particular practices.

Women Making History
- 2018
-
In: History Workshop Online. - : History Workshop. ; :180514
-
Journal article (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- In 2013, Parvin Ardalan, a former journalist and civil-rights activist from Iran, launched a project in Malmö, Sweden called 100 Years of Immigrant Women’s Life and Work – or, Women Making History for short. Ardalan was Malmö’s first ‘safe-haven writer in residence’ from 2010 to 2012. In 2007, she was awarded the Olof Palme Prize for her work campaigning for the equal rights of men and women in Iran. At the time of the project launch, we, the authors, were involved in the Living Archives research project at Malmö University, which was rethinking the archive as a social resource. We were invited by Parvin and fellow activists to be partners in the work of documentating activity for Women Making History, alongside a few other Malmö-based organisations. This article recounts the movement’s engagement in rewriting Malmö’s history – a rewriting that focused on the lives and work of immigrant women over the last 100 years from a feminist and activist perspective.

Patients making place. A photography-based intervention about appropriation of hospital spaces

In: ARCH14 International Conference on Research on Health Care Architecture. - 9789526062013 ; 6, s. 25-42

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Hospitalised patients are faced with a brute reorientation of their normal spatial needs andpreferences and forced to adjust spatially to a new environment. Patients start to re-arrangetheir own situation according to personal needs and the site-specific circumstances. It is are-arrangement that includes furniture, private objects and spatial positioning, but also theadjustment to the presence and needs of the staff and other patients. What types of spatialand aesthetical preferences and actions emerge in this alignment with the hospital cultureand how can preferences and everyday spatial production by patients be investigated? Here,a methodological approach is suggested where patients look upon their stay at the hospitalby discussing photos that they have produced themselves while hospitalised and answers toa set of questions they have written on image cards produced by the researchers in orderto stimulate discussion. The investigation was carried out in 2012 at Helsingborg Hospitalin Sweden. It shows that patients are primarily concerned with spatial ordering within thehospital environment and less with decorative aesthetic aspects. The study also shows thatthe understanding of patients’ daily occupation with shared spaces, negotiable spaces anddelegated spaces would gain from further investigation of spatial appropriation and its relationto the existential necessity of spatial vagueness. In relation to this, we suggest that architecturalconsultation and environmental research could take into account a more varied range ofviews of space within the hospital environment, apart from already established categories orfunctions. It could be done, we suggest, practically as well as theoretically, by acknowledgingcertain qualities of vagueness in the continual everyday production of hospital space. Byallowing meetings and negotiation between otherwise separate, contradictory or completelyunheard opinions, this may in the end have a positive effect on future architectural outcomes.

WOMEN MAKING HISTORY: 100 YEARS OF IMMIGRANT WOMEN’S LIVES AND WORK IN MALMÖ
- 2016
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Malmö has undergone major changes over the past 100 years, as the history books tell us. But what areas have been covered in the city’s documented history? Whose stories have been included and which stories have been left out? The project ‘100 Years of Immigrant Women’s Lives and Work in Sweden’ studied this question closely. The official account of history has largely neglected the women’s perspective, and especially the experiences of immigrant women. During the period 2013-2016, ‘Women Making History’ sought to fill some of these gaps. Via a wide range of collaborative means – such as oral narrative, archive studies, photo workshops, meetings around town and exhibitions – the stories of women from differing backgrounds and of differing ages have emerged. Through their lives and work, these women have constantly helped shape and re-shape Malmö. Their experiences of public and cultural life in the city, however, have varied. The voices of immigrant women must be heard. This is about women making history – which we prefer to call Women Making HerStory.
