of Design in its own stand at Salone del Mobile 2013 asked DensityDesign to realize a 4 mt x 2 mt poster showing the structure and the efficiency of the School of Design system at Politecnico The visualization is a picture of the 2010 2011 academic year We began with the visualization of the figures related to students On the left side you can start following the students path from the admission test to their bachelor degree which is connected to data related to the type of contract one year after graduation data referred to a 2010 survey We decided to integrate the visualization with information related to credits distribution Every circle is a course of study and shows its typology of exams theoretical courses labs etc with related C F U university course credits Inside it is shown the average of earned credits by students every year In the right side you can see the same data related to master degree We also visualized how many teachers each department gives to the school of design The poster has been completed with information about PhDs technical and research labs and the number of students for each school of Politecnico The poster was realized in one week by Gabriele Calvi and Sara De Donno with the supervision of Michele Mauri Sara De Donno 24 April 2013 Density Design http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=3293 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 14:56:40 +1000

a subsection of interaction design Moggridge 2007 L ouml wgren amp Stolterman 2004 Bagnara amp Crampton Smith 2006 In the shift from designing objects to designing experiences interaction design needs to investigate temporal as well as spatial form Redstr ouml m 2001 Maz eacute amp Redstr ouml m 2005 and to see computation as basic material From a social cultural and humanistic perspective studies of the design of interactions and their contexts of use can be understood in terms of mediated communication and the historical social playful and aesthetic in digital design Blythe Overbeeke Monk amp Wright 2003 Lunenfeld 1999 This approach has been framed as Communication Design Morrison et al in press This mediational perspective of digital communication is informed by studies in new media social semiotics socio-cultural studies of learning and work and practice-based research into multimodal composition in which mediated discourse itself undergoes change through active use Jones amp Norris 2005 Morrison in press This view is distinct from the structuralist and directional or transmission models of communication e g Crilly Maier amp Clarkson 2008 that are not rooted in cultural and mediational theory From a Communication Design perspective the interface itself mediates it is understood as socially and culturally constructed and situated Such a perspective is not very widely articulated in discussions of the interface in design research Further few studies exist of dynamic digital interfaces and their multimodal characteristics from a specifically media and Communication Design view e g Skjulstad 2007 In their design activity interaction designers invest heavily in the shaping of interfaces as symbolic and cultural texts Alongside this attention to design and with reference to user-driven studies we also need to unpack the features and possible functions of these emerging forms of mediated communication The proliferation of movement in the interface demands that we pay attention to a variety of media types genre conventions and earlier media and to the ways that elements of these are combined in different configurations Social semiotics provides some means for relating the various graphical animational and kinetic aspects of dynamic interfaces within a wider communicative perspective 3 Jon Olav H Eikenes and Andrew Morrison 2010 Jon Olav H Eikenes

images were first possible with a computer those gorgeous full-color images And then after a few years we got CD-quality sound It was incredible You could listen to sound on the computer And then movies via CD-ROM It was amazing Remember that excitement And then the browser appeared The browser was great but the browser was very primitive very narrow bandwidth Text first then images we waited CD-quality sound over the Net then movies over the Internet Kind of incredible And then the mobile phone occurred text images audio video And now we have iPhone iPad Android with text video audio etc You see this little pattern here We re kind of stuck in a loop John Maeda TEDGlobal 2012 http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=3207 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 19:55:02 +1000 http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=3194 The Knight Ridder Information Design Lab is developing a newspaper interface for the tablet device The tablet newspaper draws on the strengths of print and on the strengths of electronic forms It is both browsable and searchable both broad-reaching and customizable It offers pages with story abstracts linked to more detailed stories background material photos sound and video People can ran read as deeply or as casually as they want Stories are no longer limited to news hole the space allotted to editorial content after press configurations and advertising have been considered The tablet newspaper includes editorial content and advertising both important components of a local information package Like editorial content advertising can have many layers and can be searched and sorted as well as browsed Additionally ads can have transaction hooks so that readers can make reservations or purchases Teresa Martin 1995 CHI Conference Proceedings http www sigchi org chi95

a class of television output rather than a genre They consist of messages or declarations addressed to the viewer from outside the diegetic worlds of fiction or the discourses of news documentary and factuality They consist of metadata about both the programme of the moment and the future plans of the broadcaster They bring together the past and future of broadcasting within its present moment In addition to this metadata function other forms of interstitial come from agencies beyond the world of broadcasting who are given conditional access to broadcasting the advertisers the sponsors and the government in the form of its public service announcements This is a whole class of television output heterogeneous but occupying a distinct position in relation to the other class of television that is programmes of whatever genre Sometimes interstitials overlap with or invade programmes Interstitials make up a class that we have to learn to distinguish One of the problems of arriving in a new television culture is that of learning how the interstitials work - what they are trying to tell you how they interlace with the programmes how they shape the spaces that the programmes occupy and how they build anticipation and delay into the development of those programmes It can take an appreciable amount of time to become a skilled viewer as a result John Ellis 2011 p 95 Published in Ephemeral

nd University Budapest Hungary 24-26 June 2013 The purpose of the annual Arts Conference is to create an intellectual platform for the arts and arts practices and to create an interdisciplinary conversation on the role of the arts in society It is intended as a place for critical engagement examination and experimentation of ideas that connect the arts to their contexts in the world e on stage in studios and theaters in classrooms in museums and galleries on the streets and in communities Its scope is deliberately broad and ambitious Our times demand nothing less than cross-disciplinary and holistic approaches The breadth of the Conference and its accompanying Journal however are without prejudice to finely grained discussion of the specific the local and the grounded practices The Conference provides a venue and a framework for the arts and art practices that are situated within the context of international art expositions festivals and biennials engaged with the international production of art and its global distribution networks This Conference aims to discover what values instincts and common ground may exist within the arts and their practices and sites of reception around the world Your participation shapes the Conference itself We are inviting proposals for paper presentations workshops interactive sessions posters exhibits or colloquia See Proposal Types Virtual participation is available for those who are unable to attend the conference in person Proposal ideas that extend beyond these thematic areas will also be considered For more
