Chuan Khoo 'Place record'
'Place, record'
This session is an ETLab work in progress session.
About the session
The presentation outlines a work-in-progress design proposal that Chuan is working on with the City of Merri-Bek. Untitled as of now, the project centres around the notion of belonging, and involves the design of an open-sourced, multi-interfaced communication network where community members contribute temporally and geolocated personal narratives of their local environment. The project leverages 'slow data' technologies and methods that re-appropriate existing digital, tangible and wireless communication technologies to contribute, negotiate and gain access to these narratives.
Background description
How can we design community experience with embedded and communication technologies that bridge the divide and tension between the anxiety, scepticism, cynicism and appreciation of technological and aesthetic veneers? Can the discussion of the perceived manufacture of artificial desire and value – a salient critique of design practice – provide a 'moral guide' for the design of these interfaces?
