As designers of interactive systems (spaces, process and products for
people), we find ourselves stretching the limits of methodological
structures that enable us to explore, build, communicate, and prototype
experience. We argue that designing experience requires a re-dressingı of
methodological practice, and that HCI can benefit from drawing on
methodological frameworks that traditionally fall outside of its purview.
Domains such as performance, theatre, dance, architecture, conceptual
design, industrial design, and visual art each contain rich knowledge and
rigorous methodologies for constructing experience. Each of these domains
defines experience, experience qualities and attributes, and defines
affordances for enacting [and re-enacting] experience as a fundamental
methodological tool.
We invite participants from multiple disciplines across and within HCI,
including kinesiology, performance, visual art, architecture, anthropology,
organizational research, computing science, visualization and engineering.
Participants are expected to be practitioners exploring unique
methodological frameworks for designing technologically mediated experience.
Participants will be expected to share, explore, and swap their
methodologies in order to construct and design experiences. Our fundamental
assumption is that experience matters. We assume that an understanding,
exploration and sharing of experience design is central to HCI. Building
experience is an interdisciplinary practice, we invite participants to share
and explore the diverse practices that contribute to the evolution of
methodologies for designing experience.
Submit a 2-4 page position paper and supporting artifacts that provide the
following:
* A demonstration, description, story, interactive or scenario of an
interaction experience that has yet to be realized and;
* A description or account of a method or project related to designing of
experience, interaction or performance.
Submissions are due January 12,2004 and should be emailed to
