An ignite style presentation given as part of the Reframe IA workshop day at the IA Summit 2013. The presentation outlines an emerging philosophy of design based around the idea of pervasive networks and augmentation, and briefly looks at what a new design practice needs to include to be successful in the networked world.

MATTHEW NISH-LAPIDUS DESIGN FOR THE NETWORK … it is more likely that a "systems esthetic" will become the dominant approach to a maze of socio-technical conditions rooted only in the present. … Rather than a novel way of rearranging surfaces and spaces, it is fundamentally concerned with the implementation of the art impulse in an advanced technological society.

Editor's Notes
- Roads – rome built roads as a means to move troops and supplies acrosseurope
- What they were actually building was a network of cultural impact, empire, social change, religion – this was software for the time, it ran on human hardware
- Now we build different kinds of networks.
- Now we build a different type of software that runs on this network, built on a code for machines rather than for humans
- However, machine software still requires a human interface, and creates new types of cultural software
- Cultural Interface
- If culture and interface are now intertwined, then designing these interfaces … Interface as culture
- Software augments our connection to reality, in a cybernetic loop with culture at large
- But we have always been augmenting reality with technology, that is the nature of technology itself. Pre-industrial interfaces were mainly the expression of a single individual craftsperson and made one at a time, all unique
- The industrial revolution was essentiallya cultural event where technology became inextricable from society and shifted all our cultural interfaces: class, consumerism, wealth, war. Industrial interfaces were the expression of the collective, the industry.
- Post industrial interfaces are the expression of the network and the rate of cultural change has accelerated in the extreme. Memes, networks of all shapes and sizes…
- What we are now developing is a new design practice for post-industrial objects. We’ve been calling this Design for the Network.
- Aesthetics: In 1986 Jack Burnham, an art professor at Northwestern and the University of Maryland, began exploring the aesthetics of art and design as a systems. He saw the emergence of artists as aesthetic decision makers rather than the makers of things.
- Systems: Second order cybernetics pioneer Heinzvon Foerster helped give us a framework for understanding these complex systems and their relationships through the primary notion of understanding interactions through feedback, and observing systems from the inside. Even more true today is the idea that everything is a complex network of interactions between people, machines, other systems, and people through machines.
- Human cognition, behavior, psychology, and more are a core part of the new design practice, as they have been for all design practices. All technology and networks are created by humans, and ultimately serve them (for now).
- Technology is a key part of all modern networks, creating links, making decisions, acting autonomously based on programming, and taking on the appearance and vocabulary of it’s creators and context.
- In 1998 MalcolmMcCollough published a book entitles Abstracting Craft focused on understanding the nature of creative making in a digital era. We now have 3d printers, data modeling that acts more like clay sculpting, and direct manipulation of digital objects. The nature of craft skill is changing, however our need and desire to create tangible things with our own hands is not.
- The penultimate foundation element is Interface. As interfaces become part of our daily environment it is important to consider the impact of the those interfaces and the ethical decisions about transparency, hackability, and access. Interface isn’t just about working with technology, it’s about how we understand the world and shapes our expectations of our environment.
- Finally, CULTURE. The explosion of networks and interfaces in the broad sense has accelerated the rate of change at the cultural level.
- All of this leads to a new cultural software and a practice for designing it…
