In today’s participatory culture, users are rarely content with playing a passive role. Instead, we look for opportunities to respond, remix, re-interpret and in some way impact our surrounding environment, as well as the experiences housed within it. But how does one plan and design for participation? Whether it’s for the purposes of a product, an interactive art installation, civic engagement, or a collaborative project, designers need to consider the kind of participatory experiences they want to elicit and how they might attempt to tap into their user’s internal motivations. In this panel, Tom Igoe, Taeyoon Choi, & Paola Antonelli will discuss the methods, theories and applications of designing for participation. Schedule:
