week 10. material talks and methodology

Understanding agency in interaction design materials, 2012. (material talks back)

       "The notion of agency puts focus on the emerging properties of materials and how they actively contribute to the way that design activity unfolds."

     "The analyses showed how interaction design is to a large extent driven by emergent                 characteristics of available materials."

    Schön, D. The Reflective Practitioner: design materials ‘talk back’ to designers’

    "Instead, humans and material objects intra-act; i.e. not only do the humans construct meaning     out of their representational acts, but the objects themselves actively contribute in the meaning

    making process."

    "Agency is thus not an attribute of things but, an “on-going reconfiguring of the world” [1]."

Computational Compositions: Aesthetics, Materials, and Interaction Design, Wiberg, 
2010.  (Material Turn宣言）

Methodology for materiality: interaction design research through a material lens, Wiberg, 2013. (Methodology)

        "Fig. 1, ... a methodology that takes a point of departure in material studies. ... to account for         the dynamics of working back and forth between materials and wholeness."    

        Fig. 2, Extended schematic description

            Materials: Properties, Character

            Details: Aesthetics, Quality

            Texture: Appearance, Authenticity

            Wholeness: Composition, Meaning

        "...an organizing methodological structure based on the simple dialectic tradition in design to work         back and forth between details and wholeness, materials and textures."

New Materialism by Fox and Alldred (2018) (New Materialism Ontology)

Doing new materialist data analysis: a Spinozo-Deleuzian ethological toolkit  (Fox & Allred, 2021) (New Materialism Methodology)

material-centered design vs. user-centered design

Questions:

1. How to relate "material talks" concepts to Wabi-sabi ?

2. How to apply Wiberg's methodology to wabi-sabi aesthetics and HCI design?

HW 4, Material Exploration in everyday life

1. design your own "Material Probes" 
    ex. Spyn project , botanic printers, 綉珍's app logo probes, ....
     Probes with digital technology in the form of 照片、貼紙、馬達、LED、...
2. record and collect how these probes appear in everyday life (照片、影片)
3. discuss how these "variations" of material interaction imply the nature of the material (with a phenomenological approach), related terms could be wabi-sabi, unfinalized, unfinished, imperfection, worn media, ... 

or analyse with Wiberg's framework and write up the dialectic results.
