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.
Keynote speakers
Christopher Frauenberger
Professor of HCI, Center for Human-Computer Interaction, University of Salzburg (Austria). Christopher is nterested in humans and digital technologies. In particular, he uses participatory design approaches to create meaningful, technological futures for diverse people in real world contexts. For example, he has worked with autistic children in schools (e.g. SocialPlayTechnologies) or older adults in their smart homes. Christopher is the author of “Entanglement HCI: The New Wave?” (ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction).
Virginia Tassanari
Virginia Tassinari works to bridge the gap between design (participatory design, design for social innovation, design fiction, futures, etc), and social sciences (philosophy, anthropology and sociology). In this context, 10 years ago she and Ezio Manzini founded the DESIS Philosophy Talks, a platform for creating dialogues between designers and social scientists, starting from questions arising from design practice.
Opening and keynotes will be live streamed:
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.
