tailieunhanh - Aesthetics and Experience-Centered Design

The cattle-keeping Nilotes need little introduction here. This essay focuses on the Nuer, Dinka, Atuot, and Mandari of the Southern Sudan, concerning each of whom there is a substantial and easily accessible literature, while making passing reference to the closely related Anuak of the Southern Sudan and the more distantly related Pokot and Maasai of East Africa. The Nuer and Dinka in particular are well known to all students of anthropology.[Note 1] What does perhaps require some explanation is their being taken together as ‘the cattle-keeping Nilotes’. The million or so people who are referred to by the names. | Aesthetics and Experience-Centered Design PETER WRIGHT Sheffield Hallam University JAYNE WALLACE University of Newcastle and JOHN McCARTHY University College Cork The aesthetics of human-computer interaction and interaction design are conceptualized in terms of a pragmatic account of human experience. We elaborate this account through a framework for aesthetic experience built around three themes 1 a holistic approach wherein the person with feelings emotions and thoughts is the focus of design 2 a constructivist stance in which self is seen as continuously engaged and constituted in making sense of experience and 3 a dialogical ontology in which self others and technology are constructed as multiple centers of value. We use this framework to critically reflect on research into the aesthetics of interaction and to suggest sensibilities for designing aesthetic interaction. Finally a digital jewelery case study is described to demonstrate a design approach that is open to the perspectives presented in the framework and to consider how the framework and sensibilities are reflected in engagement with participants and approach to design.
