The Mediatised View
Project 3 News
Mobile/Web App being developed
The design team is working on creating a mobile/web app which will be a 'platform' that allows one to think through and analyse political issues at different scales (local, regional, global) and from different perspectives.
At its heart, we are thinking about developing a template which will allow one to analyse and develop 'argument' in an informed way. The platform will also allow political debate to be mapped in space and time and threads of opinion connected spatio-temporally - where possible the points made in the strong thread of connected arguments may afford action.
Symposium 2010 a Success
Held on 19 November 2010, Symposium 2010: Mediating Practices: Design, Politics and their Publics focused on design as a mediating practice; both in the narrowcast sense of how it contributes to the production of new forms of ‘media’, and, also, in the wider sense that design is itself a mediatory practice; conditioning the spaces and objects of our everyday practices and, in and through this, effecting the way we are, and mediating the very sense of ourselves, as individuals and communities.
