Welcome by the conference chairs
10:00am-11:00am AEDT: Keynote by Margot Brereton
Co-design over time in an era of data driven technologies
Interaction is fundamentally temporal, relational, embodied, material and situated. Technologies that mediate interaction are used and shaped over time within various relations and places, as they in turn shape relations. However, many data driven technologies derive from an opposite view, built to reduce human and nonhuman experience to data points, amassing, compressing and summarising activity in search of value. Can we reconcile these fundamentally expansive and reductive views? And what does it mean for interaction design practice?
In this talk I will explore situated and relational design approaches that unfold over time as a way to contextualise and shape even data rich technologies. Through building relations and interacting over time, we can make space for co-design to work out what kind of design might fit within a network of relations and the kinds of agencies it will afford. To illustrate this, I will discuss examples of codesigning technologies with older adults, neurodiverse children, and with remote communities to steward local endangered species. I will also reflect on inherent challenges and future directions.
Biography
Margot Brereton is Professor of Engineering and Interaction Design at Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane. Her research involves co-designing technologies with communities who are often overlooked in technology design to explore ways to meet their aspirations. Her research group has co-designed with older adults, children with Autism, young adults with cognitive impairments, endangered species, remote communities and Indigenous communities. Margot is committed to long-term engagements, culturally appropriate methods and reciprocity. She is interested in how designs shift power, how emerging technologies can be better shaped by diverse perspectives, and methods and theories that help in these endeavours.
Margot holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering Design from Stanford University, USA and Masters in Technology Policy from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA and a BSc.Eng (Hons) from Bristol University, UK.
