Interfaces Gráficas Y Género: Impacto En Discursos Normativos, Marco V. Ferruzca, Paulo C. Portilla, Juan Villegas, Román A. Mora

GDI. Revista de investigación de Género, Diseño e Innovación

El diseño de interfaces gráficas de usuario generalmente considera una reflexión sobre propiedades vinculadas a aspectos visuales como el color, las imágenes, la tipografía, etc. Asimismo, algunos aspectos del usuario se ponen también a consideración como su edad, cultura, experiencia, género, entre otros. Sin embargo, la noción de género sólo se reduce a un binarismo para definir si la interfaz gráfica encaja en la categoría mujer u hombre. Muy pocos investigadores se han detenido a profundizar en el discurso heteronormativo que puede desprenderse de la interpretación de significado de una interfaz gráfica como consecuencia de la interrelación entre usuariogénerocomputadora.

Infografía: El Nexo De Unión Entre Ciencia Y Diseño Gráfico, Ángel Serrano Valverde, Almudena Torres Pardo

GDI. Revista de investigación de Género, Diseño e Innovación

En la divulgación científica, tanto en la que se realiza en congresos de alto impacto y nivel académico, como en la que encontramos en los museos, en los libros de texto o en las redes sociales, se están utilizando infografías. Principalmente, para explicar procesos complejos y sucesos no observables sin el uso de instrumentación específica, o no reproducibles con sencillez.

Este artículo investiga esa relación entre ciencia y diseño a través de la infografía, recorriendo la historia de la infografía científica y su uso en los diferentes ámbitos divulgativos actuales.

It Is Not Her Fault She Didn’T Know Mary Had A Lamb, Samer Ridikkuluz

Theses and Dissertations

“It is not her fault she didn’t know Mary had a lamb” is not an Arab Queer conflict. It is the genocide of everything they told me art was and the decolonial clarity of what art can be. Whether it be bridging the gap between the East and the West, the straights and the gays, or me and the world—I investigate the human condition, the parts we play, and how identity evolves and hides.

List Of No's, Hwi Hahm

Theses and Dissertations

Through abstract paintings with an emphasis on the absence of the human form, Hwi Hahm creates an esoteric, veiled expression, prompting the question: when do swaths of paint become something? In this paper he discusses the dissociation of identity, and how it offers a balance between material properties and the illusionistic possibilities of painting.

Victim/Perpetrator, David D. Moy

Theses and Dissertations

Throughout this text, David Moy will discuss the inner working of his investigation on image overload and materialization. Through tactics of blurring, erasure, and layering he achieves obfuscation in his printed media. In doing so, he questions the compounding nature of image/text that negate themselves in the larger context of time in the digital age.

Shapes That Hide Their Shadows, Jennifer Blaine
