Workshop aims and goals
Engaging the audience has always been of fundamental importance to the
creative sector
(performing and visual arts, video games, film, interactive narrative
etc). Media
producers, publishers and content providers are starting to use
interactive technologies
to involve audiences in the creative process, constructing audience
journeys, and
exploiting the potential of co-creation and crowd-sourced innovation.
So design is
central to engaging audiences. What are the best methods and processes
for designing and
evaluating audience engagement?
This workshop adopts an interdisciplinary approach to identify design
strategies for
audience engagement.
We are calling for position papers investigating, but not restricted
to topics and
questions such as:
What is audience engagement and what are its goals?
What design processes are appropriate for audience engagement?
What contextual, cultural and ethical parameters should we consider
when designing for
audience engagement?
Can audience engagement be evaluated and if so, which are the
strategies that can be
effectively employed?
We welcome contributions in:
Original practical research and empirical studies
Critical essays that explore design for audience engagement
Models, methods and frameworks for designing and evaluating audience
engagement
New technologies and platforms built for this purpose
How to participate:
We welcome participants from all parts of HCI and related disciplines.
We seek to attract
an interdisciplinary group of researchers and practitioners in areas
including HCI design
(user experience, value-based design, design for affect, user-centred
and user-driven
design), interaction design, performing and visual arts, video games,
film, interactive
narrative, neuroscience, psychology and related fields with experience
in the workshop
theme. The workshop will accommodate between 10 and 25 participants
selected on the basis
of submitted position papers.
We invite workshop papers up to 4 ACM pages long, reporting on recent
projects, studies
of the field and theoretical accounts. We also invite position papers
up to 2 ACM pages
stating the submitters? interest in the workshop's theme. (The ACM CHI
publication format
is available at
http://www.nordichi2012.org/content/chi2012extendedabstracts.doc).
Submit the position paper in PDF format by email to
[log in to unmask] no later than 3rd
August, 2012.
