Living through Artifacts

I design, implement and study interactive systems as media. From this perspective, I am particularly interested in how design supports and encourages perception, actions and ultimately experiences.

“Indeed, artifacts pre-scribe, oblige, allow or forbid specific behaviors and distribute roles and responsibilities among users.”
(Lucivero 2015, p.49)

“Design anthropology…seeks to understand how design helps define what it means to be human, that diversity of human values, and then how design translates these values into tangible experiences.” – Swinburne’s Design Anthropology Mission StatementFrom Swinburne University’s Design Anthropology program description, http://www.swinburne.edu.au/design/courses/design-anthropology-postgraduate-course.html.”
