11. Materials in Participatory Design Processes

Author

Hansen, Nicolai Brodersen

Subjects
Computer Science - Human-Computer Interaction
Abstract

This dissertation presents three years of academic inquiry into the question of what role materials play in interaction design and participatory design processes. The dissertation aims at developing conceptual tools, based on Deweys pragmatism, for understanding how materials aid design reflection. It has been developed using a research-through-design approach in which the author has conducted practical design work in order to investigate and experiment with using materials to scaffold design inquiry. The results of the PhD work is submitted as seven separate papers, submitted to esteemed journals and conferences within the field of interaction design and HCI. The work is motivated both by the growing interest in materials in interaction design and HCI and the interest in design processes and collaboration within those fields. At the core of the dissertation lies an interest in the many different materials used during the design process: sketches, prototypes as well as the materials we shape products out of: physical and digital materials now form a unity of computation and physical materials that has given rise to a new research interest in design and materiality. The main results from the dissertation are an understanding of design materials that draws on pragmatist philosophy. The papers and overview article highlights how materials in a pragmatist perspective are more than the matter out of which we shape an idea. Rather they structure the entire process of inquiry, helping us frame problems, inspire solutions and try out these solutions in practice. This framework, developed in several of the submitted papers, is tested and illustrated through a series of experimental design cases., Comment: 89 pages, PhD Dissertation - contains introductory comments, the overview article, abstracts and links to all papers appended in the final doctoral work

Abstract

The design of civic tech is often confronted with impediments, barriers, and a lack of resources. These and other causes may lead to the discontinuation and even abandonment of initiatives. Since seemingly failed projects are much more difficult to publish as articles, this workshop will provide academics and practitioners with a rare opportunity to exchange experiences and insights on discontinued civic tech initiatives. The goal of the workshop is to develop a better understanding of why some civic tech initiatives fail and ask whether discontinued initiatives may still somehow contribute to social change and the growth of digital civics. A variety of sub-questions around discontinued civic tech will be addressed in the workshop, including matters of participation, citizen science, public management, power structures and biases, and communication., Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public., Design Conceptualization and Communication

42. Manifestations of a Sound Wave:Establishing Human-Data Relations from a Data-Centred Perspective

Author

Johansen, Stine Schmieg, Jensen, Rikke Hagensby, Schneiders, Eike, and Hansen, Nicolai Brodersen

Subjects

Abstract

In this provocation, we propose a view that data is relational and that data-human relations can be uncovered through a data-centred (as opposed to human-centred) perspective. The background for this is the increasing digitisation where many digital systems involve a number of different stakeholders who handle different versions of data for different purposes under varying standards. Such systems can represent data in many ways, each emphasising certain aspects of the world and calling for specific actions. Furthermore, data accessibility and version control can vary between platforms and stakeholders. While human-centred approaches to designing these systems can shed light on aspects such as user experience or opportunities for supporting human-human collaboration, this ultimately excludes the perspective of the real-world "thing" represented as data. As such, it is critical to identify approaches to establish and design for data-human relations. We illustrate this point through a narrative in four fragments. The narrative is told from the perspective of a sound wave that discusses relations to stakeholders established throughout its existence. We conclude with reflections on the nature of these relations and how data as material for design is characterised through those.
