Subnet Talk | Sara Mlakar

TALK:
Odd Inter­ac­tion Con­cepts (OINC) turn the inter­ac­tion design pro­cess upsi­de down. We will look at sci­en­ti­fic, artis­tic, digi­tal, ana­lo­gue, tech­no­lo­gi­cal, and ever­y­day examp­les of odd inter­ac­tions and reflect on their usa­bi­li­ty as a design metho­do­lo­gy. It will be fun­ny, cri­ti­cal, novel, spe­cu­la­ti­ve, and abo­ve all odd!

SPEA­K­ER:
Sara Mlak­ar is an inter­ac­tion desi­gner and rese­ar­cher focu­sing on bridging the gap bet­ween new tech­no­lo­gy and ever­y­day users, stri­ving towards grea­ter social accep­ta­bi­li­ty. As a rese­ar­cher, she crea­tes (artis­tic) objects with novel inter­ac­tion inputs to gather insights into human beha­vi­or. As a desi­gner, she appli­es tho­se prin­ci­ples to pro­ducts of the future.
