#criticaldesign — Public Fediverse posts

Critique is not necessarily negative; it can also be a gentle refusal, a turning away from what exists, a longing, wishful thinking, a desire, and even a dream.

What a marvel!
Let’s hope no semiologist gets hurt reading this piece :)

Art is becoming increasingly essential in asserting our cultural autonomy against a technological determinism that, more often than not, exists solely in the minds of those who take the Gartner Hype Cycle as gospel and the marketing of major consulting firms as sacred writ.

The space of critique is our salvation.
The future is a space for self-determination.

this is an interesting framework for (in my eyes) controversial nudging methods (i.e in design) #CriticalDesign #techethics https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/behavioural-public-policy/article/abs/nudge-forgood/06BC9E9032521954E8325798390A998A

These fun 0€ french tourist banknotes could also be read as a #criticaldesign artifact 😂

GaTech Digital Media #PhD apps are due Dec 15! I'm looking for a student interested in studying how to create environments & infrastructures to help people to do the work of #TechEthics, using qualitative & design methods.

I usually approach these from a mix of perspectives from #HCI, #STS, #Design, #CriticalDesign, #CriticalTechnicalPractice

Program info: https://dm.lmc.gatech.edu/admissions/prospective-students/ph-d-applicants/

And some of my current research areas: https://richmondywong.com/index.php?page=research

Just attended my second metafuturism workshop with social scientists, musicians, AI specialists, and physicists organised by the Interdisciplinary Support Network MetaFuturism Lab. My first attempt at creating speculative fiction as a collective project. Such an interesting and stimulating space.

Any futurists out here? Love to connect.

Shifting from Twitter, so here's a few research-interest-hashtags (in no particular order) to make me searchable: #ethnomethodology #space #STS #sociology #python #skylab #technology #AI #artificialintelligence #digitalmethods #HCI #criticaldesign #sciencestudies #CSCW

Am also looking for maybe a less generalist server to be on, so any ideas? Thanks!
