Innovative Collaboration And Co-Designing With Santhal And Mohli Tribes Of Dumka, India, Nilanjana Bairagi, Ajithsen Selvadhas, Sowndarya Archarya
IASDR Conference Series
Tribal communities use locally available resources to fulfil their daily needs in India. Santhal and Mohli tribes in Jharkhand, India have an intergenerational skill of using bamboo and other natural fibres to make utility crafts like baskets and mats, which is used as a part of their lifestyle. However, it was limited in terms of product range and market reach, which resulted in the tribes’ livelihood stagnancy and other financial difficulties. Therefore, the objective of this research was design intervention and product development based on collaborative designing, as the researchers were outside of the tribal community. And also to propose …

This PhD-project delivers a design methodology that studies how cyber-physical systems can integrate with the human body to improve the quality of life for people with progressive and permanent disabilities. In this project, the perspectives of the ‘deviant body’ (Murray, 2007) and the ‘disabled body’ (Goodley, 2017) are seen as bodies of knowledge that can question, collapse, or even eliminate traditional perspectives on what it means to be ‘human’ in hybrid realities. In recent debates on human-computer integration (HInt) (Farooq & Grudin, 2017; Mueller et al., 2020, 2021; Danry, V.et al., 2021; Semertzidis et al., 2022; Barbosa et al., 2023), …

In the face of the current environmental crises and the emergent debate over how we as a species should respond to it, local-context discussions, research, and practice are rapidly growing in a number of regions. Within the confines of the design community, there is an ever-growing view of these discussions as representing a culturally diverse perspective on design, as opposed to the current Western-centric design shaped by modernism and capitalist market economies, and as representing the emergence of an emerging design scene of pluriverse. This study extends the concept of the oyster reef conservation project referred to as "Hokkhi," produced …

Will the design system be emancipated enough to contribute to the transformation processes of identities in different cultural contexts? The notion of identity constitutes a fundamental axis for reflecting on design’s renewal and transformations. Identity is not immutable; it transforms with growth and social changes from a multicultural and intercultural perspective. The paper critiques the contributions submitted to the Identities and [Changing] Identities track for the tenth Congress of the International Association of Societies of Design Research (IASDR 2023). The contributions reflect on four main areas: cultural identity concerning the identity roots of design, the authorial identities with their poetics, …

In the popular imagination, sustainability is often synonymous with environmentalism, but it encapsulates much more. While environmentalism and conservation are often a focal point of sustainability efforts, so too are the people who impact the environment through their actions and associated activism. In this paper, we examine the discourse on sustainability, nature conservation and climate change. We focus, in particular, on the relationship between humans and the seas, where three main topics entangle: eco-feminism, ocean conservation and well-being. This paper highlights its implications for research on sustainability, nature conservation and climate change by outlining an aqueous logic — a fluid …

The Use Of Collaborative Media In Societal Crises – Towards A Conceptual Framework, Mari Karhu
The Use Of Collaborative Media In Societal Crises – Towards A Conceptual Framework, Mari Karhu
IASDR Conference Series
The COVID-19 pandemic and environmental crisis are examples of long-lasting crisis situations that challenge everyday life as we know it. Based on a set of user studies, this paper suggests an initial conceptual framework for the use of collaborative media in societal crises. News and social media construct crisis awareness and a sense of crisis that, in turn, may channel into media-enabled collaborative activities. These activities occur in a socio-technical shaker, setting the boundaries for crisis collaboration. After all, the activities grow into use purposes including collaborative crisis intelligence, collaborative crisis action, and collaborative crisis adaptation. The suggested conceptual framework …

Speculating Gender In Conversational Interfaces, Patrizia Marti, Stefano Varlaro
IASDR Conference Series
The paper investigates gender biases and stereotypes in the design of conversational interfaces such as chatbots and virtual assistants. Recently the topic has received a growing attention in the design community. In our research, we focus on the issue of the lack of diversity and viewpoints that may unintentionally create services that are biased towards a particular group of users, while ignoring the needs and perspectives of others. To address this issue, we organised a speculative design workshop inviting 9 people with different gender and sexual identity to reflect on gender biases in conversational interfaces with the ultimate objective of …
Designer-Researcher’S Positionality; Materialities Matter, Amber De Coen, Niels Hendriks, Andrea Wilkinson
Designer-Researcher’S Positionality; Materialities Matter, Amber De Coen, Niels Hendriks, Andrea Wilkinson
IASDR Conference Series
With the rise of cross-cultural, participatory research projects, there is a growing need for reflexivity in the design research community. One way to address this need is by using positionality, which acknowledges the researcher's personal, social, cultural, political position in relation to the subject, participants, context, and process of a study. However, this paper argues that in design research, additional reflections should be made on the research materialities, seeing as these may also reflect the designer-researcher's biases and assumptions, which have implications for the research process and outcomes. Drawing on the example of a participatory design research project researching the …

COVID-19 and Omicron variants have caused unprecedented impacts on global operating systems, society was forced to accept a painful coexistence with the pandemic, and the derived economic, social, and cultural disasters have left communities plagued by the "Long Covid" aftermath and psychological pressure. Worse still, society has witnessed an increasingly severe problem between spaces and services, including delayed regeneration, disorganization, and isolation. Therefore, it has become crucial and urgent to discover linking strategies between spaces and services, residents and communities, and the broader interrelated field during the recovery and change transition. Through comparative theoretical analysis, we identify the conceptual definition, …

E-Motioning: Exploring The Effects Of Emotional Generative Visuals On Creativity And Connectedness During Videoconferencing, Tianqin Lu, Jun Hu
IASDR Conference Series
Videoconferencing has become an essential part of business life, and the trend of remote collaboration is set to continue in the future. However, research has shown that the lack of social cues in videoconferencing negatively impacts human social connectedness and hinders the production of creative ideas. Therefore, E-Motioning has been proposed as a system that generates geometrical-based visuals according to users’ real-time emotions, and these visuals are used, as backgrounds for videoconferencing. An experiment was conducted with twenty-four participants to examine the effects of E-Motioning on creativity and connectedness in Microsoft Teams compared to a control condition that uses the …
Decolonizing Creativity In The Digital Era, Laura Herman, Payal Arora
Decolonizing Creativity In The Digital Era, Laura Herman, Payal Arora
IASDR Conference Series
This paper explores the importance of decolonizing creativity in the digital era within the context of the platformised creator economy. We argue that technology has largely been designed for Western audiences by Western audiences, thereby overlooking an enormous segment of global Internet users who exist outside of the Global North. To take a truly inclusive approach to design research, it is imperative to consider local impacts and vernacular realities of designed platforms. Therefore, we share the results of fieldwork conducted with young people in India to produce a non-Western, decolonial perspective on digital creativity and algorithmic cultures. In sharing these …

Design plays a vital role in facilitating community-building by triggering interpersonal social interactions, enhancing a sense of attachment, and connecting individuals. This study aims to identify how local creators are currently casting community anchors for their customers and explore design opportunities to further enhance these practices. First, a literature review is conducted to establish the significance and concepts of ‘local creators’, ‘community anchors’ and ‘level of customer engagement’. Subsequently, 40 practical cases are thematically analysed to identify which and how local creators cast community anchors to engage customers for community-building. Consequently, fourteen types of community anchors and five ways of …

IASDR Conference Series
Teenagers are constantly overwhelmed with information and activities, both considering school activities and their free time. How can we actively engage them in educational experiences to stimulate discussions and reflections about social issues? To answer this question, we conceived a workshop-like experience where we put into practice three well know methods and concepts, such as co-design, citizen science, and game thinking. The final output of the activity is a low-fidelity prototype of a mobile application, co-designed by a group of students. By taking advantage of open-ended making to engage participants in the ideation of a gamified/game-based citizen science application, we …

Methods For Designing Woven Textile-Forms: Examples From A Pedagogical Textile Design Workshop, Juri-Apollo Drews, Holly Mcquillan, Aurélie Mosse
Textile Intersections Conference Series
When designing Woven Textile-forms, both the 3D object and the textile it is composed of need to be de-veloped simultaneously, a process requiring an adaptation of currently established methods from both textile and fashion design. This paper provides an overview of existing examples for woven form-construction approaches through the lens of fabric (non-)rectangularity. It subsequently presents the method of flattening a 3D form into a weaveable 2D format, and the alternative weaving methods of Modular Weaving, Non-binary Weaving and Multi-selvedge Weaving destined at constructing non-rectangular seamless Woven Textile-forms. It further describes a range of associated prototyping and visualisation techniques including …

Textile Intersections Conference Series
The Neo-Couture project investigates the intersection of haute couture principles and emerging digital technologies. In this paper, we introduce a developing Neo-Couture framework, grounded in five key areas: Humanness, Interactions, Hierarchy, Material Agency, and Bespokeness/Rarity. Drawing upon the concept of ‘intra-action’ (Barad, 2007:33) from agential realism, the study explores how humans and computational tools mutually influence each other, offering fresh insights into creative processes in fashion and textiles. Where previous research has aimed to categorise AI tools; here, tools are considered 'material agents,' emphasising the emotional and agential aspects of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). The concept of 'intra-action' is important in …
Proto-Flighting In The Wild: A Creative Technologist Approach To Drone Prototyping, Peter Cleveland, Frances Joseph
Proto-Flighting In The Wild: A Creative Technologist Approach To Drone Prototyping, Peter Cleveland, Frances Joseph
Experiential Knowledge (EKSIG) Conference Series
The practice of First Person View (FPV) drone flying is not entirely understood. The physics bending agility of the technology and tight coupling of this with a pilot’s senses is an emerging field of research into embodied relations and Human Drone Interaction (HDI). The assemblage, integration and tuning of a boutique system of FPV hardware and software that is bound together with open-source firmware in a self-directed mode allows an enormous amount of freedom and application, but also involves tacit knowledge and continuous experimentation that is inextricably bound to processes of prototyping. The role of a do it yourself (DIY) …

Multitudes: Widening The Research Agenda For Personal Informatics Design, Emily Winter, Bran Knowles, Daniel Richards, Kim Snooks, Chris Speed
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The personal informatics field claims many potential benefits for users, from self-reflection to self-improvement. However, despite this focus on the self, the personal informatics literature has given little attention to how the self is conceptualised in tool design. From a starting point that all notions of the self are socially constructed, we draw on critiques of the PI literature to track three key conceptualisations of the self that are prevalent in the personal informatics literature – the unitary self, the lacking self, and the knowable self. For each of these, we suggest a possible design space opened by embracing an …

Negotiating The Page: Digital Annotation And Graphic Literature, Tania Allen, Margaret Simon
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The past ten years have seen an increased acceptance and study of the graphic novel as a literary instrument. More and more authors and designers are using the comic book platform and its shorter, serialized structure, to tell stories about race, class, and gender. In tackling these more complex issues, creators are intentionally or unintentionally making environments where readers are engaging in methods of negotiated reading—discovering an affinity with aspects of the characters and stories, and actively creating a discourse with identity and positionality. Digital annotation and reading platforms offer a unique opportunity to teachers, designers, scholars, and readers to …

Designing New Financial Transactions: Theories, Case Studies, Methods, Practice And Futures, Chris Elsden, Inte Gloerich, Bettina Nissen
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Talking about money can be difficult; designing with it, harder still. Though design is increasingly ‘value-centred’, this theme-track proposes the need for critical attention to how we actually represent, transact and exchange what we value. In this editorial, we offer some background to the topic, describe potential areas of development for design researchers and practitioners, and introduce the papers presented through this theme at DRS 2022.
