Bathroom Blog http://hci-fun.org.uk/blog/2006/03/06/hci_opening_at_fact#c1252 Tue, 16 Jan 2007 11:28:34 +0000 simon poulter [Visitor] c444@http://hci-fun.org.uk/blog/ I think McLuhan had a lot of this in mind when he wrote 'Understanding Media'. Quite how he did this is another matter, given that this was written in the early sixties. The medium is the message has entered into media ecology as a given term to describe the way a medium affects its surroundings irrespective of its content. Within a digital age and a neo-liberal economy phrases such as 'content is king' have become prevalent and Web 2.0 takes this paradigm further - where the 'user' develops the content (the corporations just sort out the banner ads). But the thing in itself, the physicality of a piece of technology affects how one behaves around it. I am sitting on my bed cross-legged at the moment typing this into a laptop, whereas some years ago I might have been publishing a paper based short edition type-set on an old Olivetti. Consequently the aesthetics of interaction are directly connected to ones behaviour. This is of course a truism but pushed a bit further we can see that devices such as Nintendo's Wii are beginning to break into the physical/virtual space (previously occupied by artists messing around with sensors and MAX/MSP). The leap away from the screen based interaction towards real time play with these kinds of technologies places the human body back into the experience. Still a hardcore of gaming officionados rule that the graphical performance of a machine determines its status, while I am arguing that any lower resolution gaming involving physical role play unlocks the desire to move in space. http://hci-fun.org.uk/blog/2007/01/15/aesthetics_of_interaction#c444 Mon, 25 Sep 2006 20:22:01 +0000 R.

I would go back and see all of the print outs for all of the options on the questions, but it'd take quite a long time! http://hci-fun.org.uk/blog/2006/03/04/automated_knowledge_machine#c23 Sun, 10 Sep 2006 21:08:37 +0000 Yas [Visitor] c22@http://hci-fun.org.uk/blog/ what the hell? http://hci-fun.org.uk/blog/2006/03/04/automated_knowledge_machine#c22 Thu, 8 Jun 2006 08:29:36 +0000 vrh [Visitor] c17@http://hci-fun.org.uk/blog/ Do not ever let this man do the usability again. http://hci-fun.org.uk/blog/2006/03/04/automated_knowledge_machine#c17 Tue, 18 Apr 2006 11:32:04 +0000 ron [Visitor] c15@http://hci-fun.org.uk/blog/ Epistiomologally comfusing http://hci-fun.org.uk/blog/2006/03/04/automated_knowledge_machine#c15 Thu, 13 Apr 2006 16:44:27 +0000 Tach Tachelsiah [Visitor] c13@http://hci-fun.org.uk/blog/ Wow, they were amazing. well done, I hope to see more of this! http://hci-fun.org.uk/blog/2005/07/18/icon_function#c13 Fri, 7 Apr 2006 12:12:22 +0000 hcifun [Member] c11@http://hci-fun.org.uk/blog/ Watching children with disabilities use Mixed Hello stirred emotions in me too.<br /> <br /> Dave
