Unmasking 3 From To

HCI Fun

Reflections - influences • The changing influences on HCI • psychology, sociology, philosophy • But how to include interactive art ? • Melding theory and practice of New Media with HCI vs. the usability model • Engagement and enjoyment

Reﬂections Process • Studying new media practice • Predominance of prototyping as an opened ended exploratory process • The role of New Media Curators • documenting the process

Reﬂections Collaboration • Models of Collaboration • Researchers, equal partners, subcontractors, observers • Curators bringing the partners together • Exhibition design, audience understanding, linking in art theory and history • Mutual agreeing beneﬁcial goals

Reﬂections Tensions • Tensions between author and audience e.g. Manovich • There are a variety of responses artists want which may conﬂict with HCI • Viewers, listeners, touchers, audience-as- artists • What are the artist’s goals?

Reﬂections Measuring • Web art - an area neglected by HCI • Similarly advanced tools • "The very essence of the creative is its novelty, and hence we have no standard by which to judge it." Carl Rogers • But that doesn’t stop people trying • So what are the appropriate methods?

Reﬂections Education • Education - HCI in Art and Design • Missing with a few notable exceptions (RCA) • What would HCI for Art and Design look like?
