interaction literacy & participatory design (sxsw 2013)
DESCRIPTION
In these slides, I explore the concept of "interaction literacy," a potential framework for clarifying the elements of multi-mediated, participatory forms of experience. Offering a model for further development, the presentation explores how insights into the elements of human experience can be used to create new design processes. See slide notes below for transcript. [Slides presented at SXSW on March 10, 2013.]TRANSCRIPT
