Friend of Fiend: Co-creation at Coolhaven-island | Marseille & Mulder

FRIEND OR FIEND? ORWELLS STRONGLY HIERARCHICAL AND CONTROLLING STRUCTURE SHIFTS INTO PLAYFULL, END USER DRIVEN FRIENDLY EXTENSIONS OF ITS OWN SELF. Ingrid Mulder, Research professor Human Centered ICT, School of Communication, Media, & Information Technology, Rotterdam University of applied science Associate Professor Design Techniques, ID-StudioLab, Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering, Delft University of Technology Justien Marseille Founder of the future Insttute, Researcher Human Centered ICT, School of Communication, Media, & Information Technology, Rotterdam University of applied science

COOLHAVEN ISLAND 6,150 INHABITANTS, 1/3 CONSIDRED POOR MIX OF DEPRIVED FAMILIES, DRIFTERS AND STUDENTS/SCOLARS (3500 DAILY) DISCOVERED BY THE ‘CREATIVE CLASS”, TENDENCY SUPPORTED BY THE CITY COUNSIL

AIM OF THE STUDY BEING PART OF THE CREATIVE CLASS AS WELL AS PROVIDING EDUCATION, THE SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATION, MEDIA AND INFORMATIONTECHNOLOGY AIMS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE SOCIETAL PROBLEMS IN IT NEIGHBOORHOOD. MORE SPECIFIC, THE INSTITUTE PRACTICES THE HUMAN CENTERED DESIGN PRINCIPLES SHE ENVISIONS BY INVOLVING ISLANDERS IN RESEARCH AND DESIGN PROJECTS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AS WELL. IN THE CURRENT PROJECT, STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN THE CURRENT MEDIA AND CREATIVITY PROGRAM WERE ENCOURAGED TO DEMONSTRATE THEIR CO- CREATION SKILLS IN PRACTICE; THEIR DESIGN TASK WAS TO DESIGN FOR SOCIAL COHESION, BY DEVELOPING A LOCATION BASED CONCEPT ENABLING MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS BETWEEN DIFFERENT GROUPS, WITH DIFFERENT NEEDS, DESIRES, AND MEDIA BEHAVIOUR AT COOLHAVEN- ISLAND.

APPROACH 172 STUDENTS, 7 CLASSES, 5 LECTURES 8 WORKGROUPS CONNECT SUBGROUPS THROUGH LOCATIVE MEDIA, 23 CONCEPTS OVER 200 VISITORS ON CO-CREATION EVENT

CO CREATION WITH STAKEHOLDERS

CO-OPINION. WHY BOUND THE PROCESS OF CITIZEN PARTICIPATION (ENFORCED BY LAW) TO ONE PLACE OR A FIXED MOMENT IF WEB 2.0 CAN SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF PEOPLE WANTING TO DISCUS ISSUES, BUT CANNOT FIND TIME TO BE PRESENT AT THE COUNCIL MEETING WHEN THE RELEVANT TOPIC IS DISCUSSED? THIS CONCEPT ENABLES CITIZENS TO PARTICIPATE IN LOCAL POLITICS AND TO CONTRIBUTE TO RELEVANT DISCUSSIONS OF THE CITY COUNCIL INDEPENDENT OF TIME AND LOCATION.

DRIFERS CURRENCY. EVERYBODY GRANTS A DRIFTER A DIME, BUT NOBODY WANTS TO BUY AN ALCOHOLIC HIS FATAL DRINK. TO COVER THIS OPPORTUNITY STUDENTS CAME UP WITH ‘CARING MONEY’, I.E., RFID CHIPPED COINS THAT YOU CAN BUY AND GIVE TO THE HOMELESS AND NEEDING, WHO CAN EXCHANGE THE COINS FOR FOOD AND SHELTER. AND, OF COURSE, IN ORDER TO MEET THE LOCATIVE ELEMENT: THESE COINS ARE TRACEABLE ALLOWING THE GIVER TO TRACE AND FOLLOW HIS GIFT. THIS CONCEPT WAS VALUED AS MOST CREATIVE AND ORIGINAL, NOT IN THE LEAST FOR THE LOW IMPLEMENTATION COSTS

MANY HANDS. THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEBODY IN NEED OF THE THING YOU JUST DON’T NEED OR OF WHICH YOU HAVE LOTS. THIS CONCEPT CAN BE A MATCHMAKER IN THIS MARKET. A NEED MASH UP OF CASES USED AS EXAMPLES, THE IDEA ABOUT ZILOK.COM, A MAP WITH GOODS, SERVICES AND NEEDS OPEN TO THE COMMUNITY. MANY HANDS MAKE WORK LIGHT. THE IDEA WAS SEEN AS THE BEST SPOT; UNFORTUNATELY, WERE THE DISCUSSIONS A BIT BIASED THROUGH THE USE OF SEMI FORBIDDEN VIDEO AND AUDIO

FRIEND OR FIEND? WERE ABLE TO CO-CREATE WITH VARIOUS SUBGROUPS AND STAKEHOLDERS AND TO EXPERIMENT WITH LOCATIVE MEDIA. WE ARE CURRENTLY AIMING TO MATURE THE CONCEPTS INTO SUSTAINBLE SOLUTIONS IN THE PUBLIC SPACE INTERACTING WITH THE URBAN SCREEN.
