Presenters: Peter Wright and Ann Light
Room: Octagon

10:00 Jay David Bolter
Aura and Interaction Design
In the 1930s the media theorist Walter Benjamin offered the concept of aura as a means of understanding the difference between traditional media and the “new media” of his day (film and photography). Today Benjamin’s distinction between the auratic and the non-auratic can provide an interesting perspective on interaction design in digital media. This distinction is especially relevant for design in mixed reality and mobile technologies.17:00 Andrew Feenberg
Culture and Design: The View from Technology Studies
Design is the process of consciously shaping an artifact so as to adapt it to its environment and its goals. To date, studies on design have focused predominantly on the work of proximate designers. Recent work in the field of science and technology studies has broadened the focus to include non-designers: clients, stakeholders, and other "relevant social groups." In all of this, however, little attention has been paid to ways in which historical choices and cultural assumptions about technology shape the design process. My goal is to address this oversight. I present a critical theory of technology that provides a relation of culture to design.Jay David Bolter is Director of the Wesley New Media Center and Wesley Chair of New Media at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He is the author of Turing's Man: Western Culture in the Computer Age (1984); Writing Space: The Computer, Hypertext, and the History of Writing, (1991, 2001); Remediation (1999), with Richard Grusin; and Windows and Mirrors (2003), with Diane Gromala.

Andrew Feenberg is the Canada Research Chair in Philosophy of Technology, at the School of Communication, Simon Fraser University, Canada. He is author of Critical Theory of Technology (OUP 1991), Alternative Modernity (UCP, 1995), and Questioning Technology (Routledge, 1999).

Date: Thursday 14/09/2006 11:00-18:00 (in parallel with main conference)
Share methods and ideas for engaging the public in digital design decisions, in the context of increasingly complex technology that could impact in domestic, social and political spheres of life.
There will be a public event between 14:30 and 16:00 where artists and researchers demonstrate methods for stimulating vision and engaging non-specialists in the design of possible digital and networked futures: public art, critical design, schools outreach and more. This special public event is open to all conference delegates.
