Living Entanglement: Toward An Entangled Design Nexus, Clee Zhuo Wang, Laurent Laurent Gutierrez

IASDR Conference Series

Human-nature encounters more and more take forms of conflict, struggle, resistance and denial. Beneath the surface question of “how to survive”, these encounters reveal “entanglement” as the fundamental condition of the world. This new world view, supported by systems thinking and posthumanism, radicalizes the anthropocentric reductionistic belief. The shift informs a reposition of design from a method to produce (techne) to an invitation to co-becoming (phronesis). This article starts with a cross-disciplinary literature review to elaborate the concept of “entanglement” in three levels: relationality, co-becoming and blurred subject / object division. Then, the field work of an ecoliteracy program (“The …

Multi-View Visualization Layout Design Method For Large Displays Based On Quantitative Analysis Of Situation Awareness, Peng Ji, Xuan He

IASDR Conference Series

Multi-View Visualization (MV) is a technique employed in large-display interaction platforms like network security situational awareness and industrial platforms. However, due to the high technical cost, complexity of physiological measurements, and inadequacy of subjective scales, large-display interaction designs often lack assessment for situational awareness and rely on back-end coding schemes. This lack of convenient and effective measurement impacts interaction design quality, leading to misunderstandings of system intention by human operators. This paper proposes a Quantitative Analysis of Situation Awareness (QASA) for MV layout in large-display interaction design. Through multiple experimental measurements (N=50) validated by eye-movement testing, we compared situational awareness …

Introducing The Third Space Of Design For Well-Being: Exploring The Intersection Between Problem- And Possibility-Driven Design Through A Design Case On Online Dating Experience, Erika Hajdu, Hazal Ertürkan, Pieter Desmet

IASDR Conference Series

This paper explores the traditional distinction between problem- and possibility-driven design for promoting user well-being. Problem-driven design identifies and addresses unfulfilled needs to reduce ill-being (i.e., the first space of design for well-being), while possibility-driven design seeks to enhance well-being without addressing existing problems (i.e., the second space of design for well-being). The latter is informed by positive psychology, which studies the conditions for human flourishing. Although possibility-driven design has added a valuable new focus to the design repertoire, it confronts designers with some key challenges that are currently unresolved. Examples of these challenges include finding focus, determining evaluation metrics, …
