Reflections - influences
• The changing influences on HCI

• Melding theory and practice of New Media with HCI vs. the usability model
• Engagement and enjoyment
Reflections Process
• Studying new media practice
• Predominance of prototyping as an opened ended exploratory process
• The role of New Media Curators
• documenting the process
Reflections Collaboration
• Models of Collaboration
• Researchers, equal partners, subcontractors, observers
• Curators bringing the partners together
• Exhibition design, audience understanding, linking in art theory and history
• Mutual agreeing beneficial goals
Reflections Tensions
• Tensions between author and audience e.g. Manovich
• There are a variety of responses artists want which may conflict with HCI
• Viewers, listeners, touchers, audience-as-artists
• What are the artist’s goals?
Reflections Measuring
• Web art - an area neglected by HCI
• Similarly advanced tools• "The very essence of the creative is its novelty, and hence we have no standard by
which to judge it." Carl Rogers
• But that doesn’t stop people trying
• So what are the appropriate methods?
Reflections Education
• Education - HCI in Art and Design
• Missing with a few notable exceptions (RCA)
• What would HCI for Art and Design look like?
