Digital Arts and Interaction, CHI Design Community

sherid — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 12:24:36 +0000

The SIG proposal “Digital Arts and Interaction” has been accepted to CHI 2011 happening in April 2011, Vancouver, B.C. Co-authored by myself and David England (LJMU, UK), Ernest Edmonds (UTS, Australia), Scott Probiner (Parsons, NY), Nick Bryan-Kinns (QMUL, UK), Peter Wright (Newcastle, UK), Michael Twidale (UofI, IL) and Carla Diana (Smart Design, NY)

“This SIG proposal, sponsored by the CHI Design Community, looks at the intersection and cross- fertilization between HCI, and Digital and Performance Arts. We consider how the exploration of engaging and meaningful artistic experience can further push the boundaries of HCI research and practice and how tool use and models of evaluation can be explored to assist the development of creative enterprises. We consider how artists’ early experiments with technology can inform mainstream design thinking, and how theories and practice in aesthetics can feed into User Experience.”
