PDC 2004 - Participatory Design Conference
"ARTFUL INTEGRATION: INTERWEAVING MEDIA, MATERIALS,
AND PRACTICES"
July 27-31, 2004 - Toronto, CANADA
The Participatory Design Conferences, held every two years
since 1990, have brought together a multidisciplinary and
international group of researchers, designers, practitioners,
users, and managers who adopt distinctively participatory
approaches in the development of information and
communication technologies (ICTs).
The overall theme of the 2004 conference grows out of the
earlier papers, books, and proceedings of the PDC conferences.
It recognizes that an essential ingredient in design practice
is the working together of multiple, heterogeneous elements.
Whereas conventional design approaches emphasize the role of
the designer and the creation of singular products, artful
integration calls attention to the collective interweaving of
people and artifacts to achieve practical, aesthetic or
emancipatory syntheses. The conference will include the
inauguration of an award for participatory design, named the
Artful Integrators Award.
Conference Co-Chairs:
Andrew Clement, University of Toronto, Canada
Peter van den Besselaar, Royal Netherlands Academy of
Arts and Sciences
Program Co-Chairs:
Fiorella de Cindio, University of Milano, Italy
Doug Schuler, Evergreen State College, USA
Submissions are invited.
