Report from Italia - Power Laws in Design
Notes on John Thackara lecture:
"Little changes in design thinking can have profound effects."
Innovation space comprises physical and social contexts, actors, systems of interaction (open?), interfaces + tools, and stories (interaction as narrative). We need a balance between synchronous and asynchronous, social and solitary, local and longitudinal approaches.
Thackara's Law:
smart technology + pointless product = stupid technology
Design PROPOSITIONS not laws
1. social value, not technological value
2. conviviality
3. context = value (choronomy: the value of a biological organism is given by its context. See also SITUATIONISM and the SI archives)
4. P2P (not point-to-mass)
5. design people IN
6. new business models needed
7. LESS! brand intrusion, semiotic pollution, technological spam
See also: Design-recast: the world as spread-sheet for more on choronomy and design.
