What If Data Protection Embraced Foresight And Speculative Design?, Arianna Rossi, Régis Chatellier, Stefano Leucci, Rossana Ducato, Estelle Hary Jun 2022

What If Data Protection Embraced Foresight And Speculative Design?, Arianna Rossi, Régis Chatellier, Stefano Leucci, Rossana Ducato, Estelle Hary

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Due to rapid technological advancements and the growing “datafication” of our societies, individuals’ privacy constitutes an increasingly explored speculative space for regulators, researchers, practitioners, designers and artists. This article reports two experiences at a national and an international data protection authority (i.e., the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés - CNIL - and the European Data Protection Supervisor - EDPS - respectively), where foresight methods and speculative design are employed in policy-making with the goal of anticipating technological trends, their implications for society and their impact on regulations, as well as the effects of existing and upcoming laws on …

The Evolution Of Inclusive Design: A First Timeline Review Of Narratives And Milestones Of Design For Disability, Luka Kille-Speckter, Farnaz Nickpour Jun 2022

The Evolution Of Inclusive Design: A First Timeline Review Of Narratives And Milestones Of Design For Disability, Luka Kille-Speckter, Farnaz Nickpour

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper sets out to critically review the history of Inclusive Design on two distinct levels, i.e. the narratives that shape it and the historical milestones which contribute to its evolution. Through an illustrative review of literature and object ethnography, two sets of timelines are outlined. First, a milestone timeline helps establish the chronological evolution of Inclusive Design based on historical milestones and sociocultural perspectives. Second, a narrative timeline helps uncover the underlying narratives around matters of disability, design and inclusivity, and how they evolved. Though identifying historical and emerging shifts in mentality, the timeline review of narratives and milestones …

Designing Appropriate Things: An Experiential Perspective On The Effectiveness Of Artefacts In Contributing To Behaviour Change, Thomas Van Arkel, Nynke Tromp Jun 2022

Designing Appropriate Things: An Experiential Perspective On The Effectiveness Of Artefacts In Contributing To Behaviour Change, Thomas Van Arkel, Nynke Tromp

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Behavioural design is an emergent discipline that aims to harness design’s influence on behaviour in an intentional way. However, there is limited knowledge on how to translate knowledge on behaviour and its determinants to specific design properties in ways that can maintain such change. We adopt a user experiential view to discuss the role that artefacts and their materiality play in effectively changing behaviour by introducing the notion of appropriateness, a quality of user-artefact interaction that describes the fitness of an artefact to the user and context that may play a moderating role in effectiveness of a design intervention in …

Visual Communication Design As A Form Of Mindfulness-Based Intervention, Jesvin Puay-Hwa Yeo, Chua-Tee Teo, Reuben Tay Jun 2022

Visual Communication Design As A Form Of Mindfulness-Based Intervention, Jesvin Puay-Hwa Yeo, Chua-Tee Teo, Reuben Tay

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The paper explores the effects of mindfulness-based design interventions to help children better self-regulate their emotions. It attempts to ascertain if the use of prototype designs could further enhance the children’s awareness or mindfulness, and emotional wellbeing. Children’s emotional and behavioural problems have become a growing concern. These problems are related to the difficulties children face in controlling their emotions, which may lead to psychological problems in adulthood. This indicates the need to help children understand feelings and how to self-regulate emotions. A pilot design project was conducted to explore the connection between mindfulness-based practice and emotion regulation in children …

A Community-Based Learning Program To Improve Wellbeing And Design Student Success, Marie Van Den Bergh, Mieke Van Der Bijl-Brouwer, Rebecca Price

DRS Biennial Conference Series

While the Pandemic has increased awareness towards student wellbeing in higher education (HE), it also exacerbated existing challenges. Specifically, students pursuing their master graduation thesis often find themselves isolated and overwhelmed due to the individualistic nature of their project and the pressure to create a ‘masterpiece’. In this paper, we provide insight into how designing for community can positively impact thesis design students’ motivation, sense of community and wellbeing, which we identify as drivers of student success. We discuss and evaluate a community-based learning (CBL) program we designed and implemented to improve student success during the master thesis journey of …

Plagiarism Or Reference? Exploring The Detection Criteria And Solutions Of Visual Design Plagiarism, Shenglan Cui, Fang Liu, Yinman Guo, Wei Wang Jun 2022

Plagiarism Or Reference? Exploring The Detection Criteria And Solutions Of Visual Design Plagiarism, Shenglan Cui, Fang Liu, Yinman Guo, Wei Wang

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Visual plagiarism occurs frequently and is often controversial. This paper conducts an exploratory study to discuss detection criteria and solutions for visual plagiarism. Since visual design involves many fields, considering the ubiquity and diversity of posters, we explore plagiarism based on poster design. We summarize the eight main elements which compose a poster artwork and discuss eight factors that influence plagiarism evaluation from two aspects of “Evaluation Standard” and “Evaluation Method.” We discussed possible solutions based on technology and tools to detect visual plagiarism better and track artwork, supporting a good online design sharing environment.

Designing For What? Approaching Necessary Production And Consumption For A Circular Economy, Isaac Arturo Ortega Alvarado, Ida Nilstad Pettersen Jun 2022

Designing For What? Approaching Necessary Production And Consumption For A Circular Economy, Isaac Arturo Ortega Alvarado, Ida Nilstad Pettersen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Circular economy (CE) is currently a 'hot topic' in design discourse. The focus of these discourses has centered on product design, which is a core aspect of material circularity. However, CE is more than products. This assumption is the base for a research question: what should be the intention in designing for a CE? The recognition of CE as a systemic transition opens up opportunities for other forms of design. These forms should contribute to societal goals concerning why and what is produced –more than the profit-making. We contend that a CE should not be approached from the perspective of …

Mutant In The Mirror: Queer Becomings With Ai, Grace Leonora Turtle Jun 2022

Mutant In The Mirror: Queer Becomings With Ai, Grace Leonora Turtle

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper contributes to scholarly discourse on design and AI by using queerness as a theoretical grounding to explore potentialities for design to interface with and imagine artificial intelligence (AI) differently. The paper does so by reporting on an autotheoretical experiment in which I pose the questions: What if we understood AI as queer, a kind of mutant, in a state of becoming; a dynamic, relational, non-binary gender variant? How then might AI show up in and act on the world (with us humans) differently? The experiment uses a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) to unsettle how AI is understood today, …

Reflection During Goal Setting: An Analysis Of Popular Personal Informatics Apps, Tina Ekhtiar, Rúben Gouveia, Armağan Karahanoğlu, Geke Ludden

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Setting achievable, realistic goals aligned to people’s current abilities and needs is an important part of behavior change. Reflection is a critical part of this process, as it helps people identify and elicit appropriate goals. Commercial applications that support behavior change often use goal setting; however, we know very little about if these implementations are based on theory and how they support reflection. In this paper, we analyze how popular health tracking apps support reflection during goal setting. We found that a majority supported limited or no reflection during the elicitation of goals. We discuss our findings and suggest design …

Playful Co-Creation In Urban Space: Igniting Activation, Closeness, And Collective Intervention Of Residents In Neighbourhoods, Nicole Arthur, Liridona Sopjani Jun 2022

Playful Co-Creation In Urban Space: Igniting Activation, Closeness, And Collective Intervention Of Residents In Neighbourhoods, Nicole Arthur, Liridona Sopjani

DRS Biennial Conference Series

How public space is designed, who it is designed by, and the events embedded within it can have a huge impact on the lived experiences in a city. Traditional ways of developing urban space have been generating an increasing distance between citizens, the spaces they inhabit, and the processes for creating these spaces. This can be seen in the reduced interactions between people in public space, the little use of public space and the disengagement of citizens from existing development processes. In view of this a playful co-creation approach of temporary urban spaces is explored within a community in Sweden …

Hybrid Economies In Hybrid Cities Built On Manufacturing, Networks, And Design, Carla Sedini Jun 2022

Hybrid Economies In Hybrid Cities Built On Manufacturing, Networks, And Design, Carla Sedini

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The concept of networks will be analyzed through a Hybrid Economy model, looking at new organizational forms and new multi-actor collaborations; Evolutionary Economic Geography defines these as interested in both social and financial returns, and it identifies institutions as particularly relevant in the success of these new enterprises. Six main factors that define the hybridity of a business and an enterprise have been identified: Offer; Goals and impacts; Founders composition; Team/Staff composition; (Relationship with) customers. To test this approach, we decided to analyze qualitative data collected during a research project which involved two sister cities: Milano and Chicago. The paper …

Exploring Contexts For Data Materialisation In Post-Pandemic Research Activities With Rural Communities, Marion Lean, Cate Hopkins Jun 2022

Exploring Contexts For Data Materialisation In Post-Pandemic Research Activities With Rural Communities, Marion Lean, Cate Hopkins

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Insights into the ideas and experiences of people and communities affected by policy implementation enable policymakers to design systems and interventions. This is particularly pertinent in areas such as rural connectivity, where policy is often implemented by civil servants living in urban areas with limited experiences or understanding of the unique challenges presented by the rural terrain to digital infrastructure. Drawing on proposals for the value of design in policy settings by Whicher (2020) this paper illustrates practical examples of the use of design in particular in the areas of “changing the nature of evidence” and “more meaningful public consultation” …

Why Consumers Have Contamination Concerns In Refurbished Personal Care Products And How To Reduce Them Via Design, Theresa S. Wallner, Lise Magnier, Ruth Mugge Jun 2022

Why Consumers Have Contamination Concerns In Refurbished Personal Care Products And How To Reduce Them Via Design, Theresa S. Wallner, Lise Magnier, Ruth Mugge

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Refurbishment is a strategy to extend products’ lifetimes. However, refurbished products that are used intimately, such as personal care products, feel uncomfortable to use for consumers because they are perceived to be contaminated. In fifteen in-depth interviews, we explored why consumers have contamination concerns regarding a refurbished Intense-Pulsed-Light device and how to decrease them. Participants expected refurbished personal care products with wear-and-tear to malfunction, to have a shorter product lifetime and to be contaminated. Participants’ inferences differed depending on the location and amount of wear-and-tear. To keep refurbished personal care products at their highest value, we suggest five design strategies …

Designing New Money: Creative Transactions On Twitch, Chris Elsden, Chris Speed

DRS Biennial Conference Series

There is a wealth of contemporary scholarship pointing to ways in which money and payment media are being rapidly reconfigured through data and technology platforms, towards what Swartz terms ‘New Money’. In this article, we look at these developments through the lens of design research and ask: how might we approach the design of new money? And how can design research complement and extend critical sociological work on payment technologies, monetization and new cultural economies? To respond to these questions, we analyse a series of ‘creative transactions’ that take place on live-streaming platform Twitch. Twitch offers a rich example of …

Design Placebos For The Impossibility Of Empathy In Videotelephony, Nesli Hazal Oktay Jun 2022

Design Placebos For The Impossibility Of Empathy In Videotelephony, Nesli Hazal Oktay

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This year, humans were locked in their homes with a rising need for digital communication such as videotelephony. Although videotelephony helps to reduce the physical gap, it leaves little room for the transmission of body language that is usually associated with empathy. This research is inspired by the cognitive model of empathy which can be explained as our desire to understand others’ emotions and interact with them accordingly. By creating a reflective experience of imagining through the body in movement, the research looks into what inter-action design’s role be in working with empathy and asks: In which ways design placebos …

A Material-Centric Approach In Non-Anthropocentric Design, Ziyu Zhou, Valentin Brück, Markus Holzbach Jun 2022

A Material-Centric Approach In Non-Anthropocentric Design, Ziyu Zhou, Valentin Brück, Markus Holzbach

DRS Biennial Conference Series

With the non-anthropocentric view, the materials—the non-human actors, can be seen as active contributors to the design process itself. Materials become carriers of a wide variety of information and reshape human and non-human relations as relational agencies. Many pioneer design activities that de-center humanity rethink the relationship among different material actors to reflect on the 'Anthropocene' issues. The approaches to designing for post-Anthropocene scenarios are usually provocative in various aspects. This paper proposes a speculative, material-centric design approach to engage discussions towards post-Anthropocene scenarios by rethinking the entanglement of human and non-human actors. This approach was used to conduct a …

Communicating The Value Of Design Research, Joseph Lindley, David Philip Green, Mayane Dore, Zach Mason, Claire Coulton, Arne Berger, Miriam Sturdee

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The overarching theme for this Conversation was How can we communicate the value of Design Research? This was accompanied by the more specific question, How we can get Design Research into ‘Research Methods 101’? At the Conversation, which was attended by approximately 30 participants, five groups were formed, and a ‘Question Bridge’ format was adopted to explore these themes—a structure which uses question and answers pairs to explore challenges and mitigation strategies around the theme. The Question Bridge exercise demonstrated that there are clear divisions and contrasting perspectives in the Design Research community. The subse- quent plenary discussion showed that …
