Institutioning: Participatory Design, Co-Design and the public realm
- 2017
-
In: CoDesign - International Journal of CoCreation in Design and the Arts. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1571-0882 .- 1745-3755. ; 13:3, s. 148-159

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this introductory article to the special issue ‘Co-Design and the public realm’, we discuss a common interest in how meso- and macro-political institutional contexts frame and are informed by Participatory Design (PD) and Co-Design processes. We argue that a unilateral focus within PD and Co-Design on the micro-political scale of fieldwork obscures interactivity with institutional framing processes, undermining their potential as sites of critique and political change. Our argument is drawn from a study of literature on the role of institutions in relation to PD and the public realm and our experience as participants in an EU-funded research project. The case study descriptions unpack how various institutional frames inform PD processes and how, conversely, PD processes inform various institutional frames: metacultural frames, institutional action frames and policy frames. To highlight the move to engaging with and creating new institutions, we introduce the notion of institutioning.

Designing Multivocality . . . from Outer Space
- 2017
-
In: Hamers, D., Bueno de Mesquita, N., Vaneycken, A. and Schoffelen, J. (eds.), Trading Places: Practices of Public Participation in Art and Design Research. - 9788494487392 ; , s. 111-124
-
Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Trading Places rethinks, develops, and tests design-driven practices and methods to engage with participation in public space and public issues. With this book we aim to help art and design researchers, students, practitioners, and the multiple stakeholders they collaborate with, to explore what participatory ways of working in our contemporary urban environment entail. Six approaches are discussed: intervention, performative mapping, play, data mining, modelling in dialogue, and curating. Each approach offers a different kind of logic and produces a different type of knowledge. Trading Places invites the reader to discover common ground, explore new territories, and exchange points of view – in short, to trade perspectives on issues of participation.

Separations in Multivocality: Reconfiguring Dialogue through Design
- 2017
-
Licentiate thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This thesis takes an artistic research approach concerned with the designer's agency within processes of public space. It traverses contexts of urbanism, urban design, architecture, art, design and participatory processes but also draws from other fields. It aims to reconfigure a view commonly held in applications of dialogue and participation, particularly in urban development, that dialogue is a face-to-face process which should converge towards a single consensus. Instead, dialogue can be understood to happen both directly and indirectly in dynamic processes involving converging (connecting) and diverging (separating) forces which together produce multivocality, or the coexistence of a collective voice with multiple articulated voices. In critical response to the monovocality of our post-political, post-Fordist context, and to similarly monovocal communitarian or cosmopolitan alternatives, the emphasis here is on mechanisms of separation for their capacity to structure the differentiation required by multivocality. The most immediate question is how the designer can structure, negotiate and navigate the dynamics of separation and connection, articulating and disarticulating voices in order to enable, protect, amplify or produce new multivocality.I experimented with and experienced these dynamics through my primary case study, Ett skepp kommer lastat. . . (2015-2016), a project I initiated in collaboration with the Frölunda Cultural Center and the Gothenburg Cultural Department, with the support of Chalmers Architecture and TRADERS. It involved eight groups of children and youth from three schools and inquired into the theme 'neighbors' from artistic, cultural, urban and architectural perspectives through a constellation of participatory workshops integrated with an exhibition.

Modelling in Dialogue: Book of Voice-Illustrations
- 2017
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- 'Modelling in Dialogue' was the fifth and final Training Week of the EU PhD project TRADERS (Training Art and Design Researchers in Participation for Public Space: tr-aders.eu; traderstalk.org). It took place in Gothenburg 23-25 May 2016. Throughout the Training Week, Ida Liffner and Marthe Roosenboom of Studio Goja were invited not only to document vignettes from and participate in the proceedings (primarily lectures and an artistic workshop, reading group and dialogue) but also to be free to critically 'speak' through their illustrations. These on-site 'voice-illustrations' were then re-assembled in full afterwards in a digital publication, which was also printed in book form for the participants. Constituting an ambiguous accentuation of the already expressive aspect of representation, the mode and degree of inflection of these voices is ostensibly indeterminate though more-or-less graspable by way of participants' own memories.
