IDCA:54 ambient: interface brings into focus the design complexities
of connection, contact and interaction. ambient: interface explores
how computation changes design s imagination of these complexities
and their translation into the making of the material world. We propose
for consideration an image of the world as an interface, and of all
design as interface design.
Not only does computation change how design works, more importantly
it changes how design thinks. Computation transforms one practice
into another: cinema into architecture, product design into philosophy,
urban planning into advertising.
Design is an expertise in points of contact, in the interfaces between
people, systems and effects. In our network culture, contact is condensed
into buttons and icons, menus and dashboards, and into familiar pathways
and fast surfaces, diagrams and directions. Interfaces are nodes along
lines of urban flow: terminals, spectacles, ports and stations. Interfaces
link and partition society itself, as belief systems, ballots and
borders.
Such points of contact, everywhere and nowhere at once, connect each
of us to the operating systems of interdependency, power, and opportunity.
They are not just our interfaces to the world, but also the world's
channels to us.
To the 54th Annual meeting of the International Design Conference
in Aspen, we have invited designers and artists who work with many
kinds of interfaces-- virtual and tangible, portable and environmental--
in ways that move us emotionally and physically. We have asked them
to demonstrate their expertise in conceiving and critiquing the interface
as a moment of exchange.
