You are
invited to an afternoon of creative and narrative exercises aimed at unraveling
stories of humans interacting with technology, specifically technologies of
privacy, online identity and personal information. The aim is to trigger a
discussion with researchers and experts in a more informal and intuitive way than
traditional academic discussion. The findings of the workshop will help
designers Austin Houldsworth (http://www.austinhouldsworth.co.uk/)
and David Benqué (http://www.davidbenque.com/)
in their research towards speculative design projects as part of the
'envisioning' part of the VOME project.
The
workshop will be held on the 9th of March, from 1.30 to
5pm, at the Royal College of Art, London.
There is no
fee for participation but places are limited. Please contact d.barnardwills@cranfield.ac.uk
to confirm a place.
No artistic
ability required.
The Visualisation and Other Methods of Expression project (VOME) is a
three-year research project, funded by EPSRC, ESRC and the Technology Strategy
Board, to explore how people engage with concepts of information privacy and
consent in on-line interactions. As You can
