[Apologies for Cross-Postings]
We are excited to invite submissions to the DIS 2018 workshop on
*** Design and Dislocation: Material Tactics for (Re)connection ***
** TOPIC
This workshop focuses on the material qualities of dislocation between
people, things, places,
and data. The process of becoming separated from humans or things is likely
to have diverse
consequences; from shifting frequency, modes, or routines of interaction
and communication, to
alternate meanings of connectedness. In this workshop, we aim to discuss a
broad range of
material manifestations and implications of (designing for) dislocation.
While engaging with
material qualities of dislocation, we will explore how design can create
opportunities for
(re)connection in response to dislocation hands-on.
** IMPORTANT DATES
Submission of position paper: April 23
Notifications to authors: April 30
Early bird registration: May 7
Workshop at DIS: Saturday, June 9
DIS main conference: June 11 – 13
** SUBMISSION
In order to express interest in participation, a position paper (in SIGCHI
extended abstracts
format, sent to [log in to unmask]) is required that covers:
— an essayistic, empirical, or theoretical discussion of dislocation and
materiality; among
others, it may either introduce theories that would be useful in outlining
the landscape of
dislocation or metaphors to guide future designs for dislocation; it could
describe an artwork or
personal experience of dislocation and reconnection that provides resources
to inspire new
ideas; or it may present an existing reconnecting design (concept or
implemented artifact)
including a reflection on where location became present in the project and
how it was
responded to through design, interaction, and materials. (4 page max.)
— the proposal of a material or artefact for exploration that the
participants commit to bring to
the workshop. (1/2 page max.)
— Personal bio (1/2 page max.)
