ATÖLYE will host ‘Slow Interaction Design’ on Wednesday 19 July at 19:00.
In our present-day reality of social, cloud, and mobile computing, it’s no secret that we’re generating, accessing, manipulating, and sharing personal digital data in unprecedented volumes. As we amass large archives of digital data documenting our lives, the technology enabling us to do so also yields a complex set of questions and concerns for our future—particularly for designers. In his talk, titled “Slow Interaction Design,” William Odom considers the long-term implications of our relationship with digital data and technologies, and the role of design in crafting a lasting place for this computational accumulation in our everyday lives.
Odom will share recent and ongoing research-through-design projects that focus on slow interaction design to explore these complex and emerging questions.
