Design for Entangled Interactions

DCODE SUMMER SCHOOL | KEYNOTES & WORKSHOPS | 22 JUNE 2022 | TU DELFT IDE Design for Entangled Interactions How will you make decentralized systems work for society? This year’s DCODE Symposium will be hosted by the Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering. DCODE is a 4M European network and PhD program. Its mission is to train researchers and designers to guide society’s digital transformation towards inclusive, sustainable futures. DCODE fellows integrate five big post-disciplinary challenges (algorithms, interactions, value/s, governance, and design practice) to bridge the gap between people, technology, and society. The network brings together 40 researchers from 20 countries cutting across design, engineering, social sciences, and humanities. The event offers keynotes, workshops, and networking activities that revise and extend user-centered and human-centered design to account for human entanglement with systems that learn, predict, and evolve across decentralized networks. It is part of the DCODE Summer School 2022, the third in a series of seven DCODE summer & winter schools across Europe. Lunch and evening drinks will be provided in the main hall of the Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering. Registration is required to determine the amount of catering.

Design workshops (max. 30 participants) These workshops are informed by the work of the DCODE Prototeams. Prototeams are a unique DCODE feature, in which PhD researchers from various backgrounds work together in real-world contexts to prototype future design competencies and professional practices. Sensing in the Wild – A More Than Human Approach Have you ever considered yourself to be a part of a sensing system? Participants will be asked to use their bodies to tune into the tensions of crowdsensing systems and their proponents. By embodying different human and non-human roles, participants will gain awareness of the possibilities and consequences that open, decentralized systems might provide for future design practices and scenarios. Organisers: Grace Turtle (IDE, Delft University of Technology), Carlos Guerrero Millan (Design Informatics, University of Edinburgh), Seda Özçetin (Umeå Institute of Design), Mugdha Patil (Hogeschool van Amsterdam). Care + Play – All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace This workshop will help participants consider critical issues of care, trust, and privacy in relation to sensing technologies in domestic and urban settings. By means of card-based speculative design methods , participants will role play and investigate future interactions between sensing technologies, care receivers, and the care networks around them from the perspective of the affected. Organisers: Youngsil Lee (Design Informatics, University of Edinburgh), Aditi Surana (Design Informatics, University of Edinburgh), Robert Collins (Umeå Institute of Design), Yuxi Liu (IDE, Delft University of Technology), Sonja Rattay (Computer Science, University of Copenhagen).

Light in the eye of the beholder

In honour of the inauguration of Antoni van Leeuwenhoek (AvL) Professor Sylvia Pont on 31 March 2017, a symposium ‘Light in the eye of the beholder’ (in English) is organised prior to her inaugural lecture ‘Het licht zien – lighting design and perceptual intelligence’ (in Dutch). Light makes us see. Perception-based lighting design optimizes what we see or how light, spaces, shapes and materials appear visually. In order to design scientifically informed perceptually intelligent light we need understanding of the optics and perception of natural light and its effects, design methods for light (not lamps), skills to implement lighting plans technologically, and creativity. Light(ing) design thus needs an interdisciplinary approach, combining design, physics, psychology, engineering, computer science and art. The three internationally acknowledged speakers of this symposium are important representatives of work in this area. They will present their work on light at TU Delft, bringing together science, technology and art in the tradition of the famous Delft masters of light Johannes Vermeer and Antoni van Leeuwenhoek. Entrance is free, but registration is required. Programme 10:00 Welcome drinks and registration At faculty of Industrial Design Engineering, TU Delft 10:30 Opening by Prof. Ena Voûte, dean faculty IDE 10:40 Prof. Ingrid Heynderickx 11:15 Prof. Anya Hurlbert 11:50 Siegrid Siderius 12:20 Closing by Prof. Sylvia Pont 12:30 Networking lunch and exhibition 14:30 Towards TU Delft Aula, Auditorium 15:00 Inaugural lecture by Prof. Sylvia Pont 16:00 Reception and exhibition Seeing, understanding and designing the light More information about the inaugural lecture of Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Prof. Sylvia Pont Portraits of Science In 2016 Sylvia Pont was appointed Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Professor for her work at the Perceptual Intelligence lab. Read the TU Delft 'Portraits of Science' interview with Sylvia Pont. Speakers Prof. Ingrid Heynderickx Dark adaptation in the real world Dark adaptation of the human visual system has been studied for many decades. Related experiments though all focused on adaptation to a completely dark environment. The effect of remaining light sources in an otherwise dark environment on dark adaptation is hardly documented, while this knowledge is essential in various application contexts. The adaptation state of the human eye determines how much contrast is needed on a high dynamic range display, or whether a light source yields disability or discomfort glare. The presentation will discuss first results and models for dark adaptation to a spatially complex light distribution in the visual field. Read more Siegrid Siderius Seeing Colours, Feeling the Light Light shapes human behaviour, through both conscious perception and unconscious sensing of the environment. Variations in illumination spectra – the colour of light – are rife in the natural and man-made worlds, and are important signals for both the visual and non-visual systems. The human visual system must register such spectral variations in order to “discount” them and thereby see stable object colours, to recognise bananas as ripe yellow in twilight or bright sunshine. The non-visual system monitors changes in light spectra to set biological rhythms and moods. In this talk, I will explore these effects of light on seeing and feeling, and discuss how new lighting technology may be harnessed to influence human behaviour and performance in different environments. Read more Prof. Anya Hurlbert The Power of Light Everyone naturally accepts that the day is light and the night is dark. With 80% of sensory stimulance being registered through the eyes this comes as no surprise. Our perception is based on the availability or the lack of light. At IDE, Industrial Design Engineering, students are taught how to shape the physical world. Teaching the possibilities of light is the starting point for creating awareness of the power of light and how the design of lighting can guide and change our perception of the world.
