Keynote at Toronto’s OCADU on March 1, placing Pask’s Colloquy of Mobiles in an arc of his interactive machines, including machines conversing with humans to create new design choices. What are principles of Paskian conversation leading to generative IxD? https://t.co/NeJo591SZQ
@andybudd Back ‘atcha, Herb Simon: “Everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones.” Explicitly democratic (“Everyone designs...”) & totally cybernetic (goals as intentions, criteria for improving based on feedback, always evolving)
@kevin2kelly@MrAlanCooper Nice. Can we talk sometime about how “smart” is not an attribute of a system but of an interaction? I know people who almost get killed by traffic or bicycles when walking around New York City. Not smart. Conversing about design? Very smart. Nothing is smart until interacting.
“Art is the universal language, and it belongs to all mankind.” — Diego Rivera
Happy birthday to world-renowned muralist Diego Rivera, who was born on this day in 1886. Celebrate by stopping by to see his famous “Detroit Industry Murals.”
With usual generosity and clarity, Hugh Dubberly subsumes design thinking into a comprehensive and rigorous retelling of what design is and why — it’s brilliant. But don’t miss implications in references where some brands of “design thinking” are exposed for hype and limitations.
For fans of the original exhibition see videos of the full-scale replica of Gordon Pask’s contribution to the 1968 ICA show, made @CCS_Detroit involving students from @CCSMFAIXD and designed by TJ Mcleish. We are seeking new venues to share the experience: https://t.co/I0rdWcp3v6
Gratitude to @caio_caladoo, @pbuja, and entire team at #BotsBrasilCONF18 for day of flawless conference production and for inviting final keynote, "Making Chatbots Humane", seeking critique of definitions for collaborative, ethical, & humane interactions: https://t.co/ApcX1Z7RnC

“Machines are everywhere, and machines are talking to machines everywhere,” Paul Pangaro told Hyperallergic. “And we don’t know what they’re doing, and we don’t have a lot of control over them." @CCSMFAIXD https://t.co/DNjWbV7pfy
Students in MFA IxD studio did the archaeology & built a scale model of Gordon Pask’s 1968 #ColloquyOfMobiles in support of a full-scale replica coming together @CCS_Detroit. What did Pask intend then and what does machine-to-machine and person-to-machine interaction mean today? https://t.co/VEO25KgXYj
#colloquyofmobiles constructed by @CCSMFAIXD students pays homage to #GordonPask and asks the questions he asked: what is the nature of conversation among machines, in 1968 and in 2018? https://t.co/KeD0MooDJM https://t.co/JMhc6gsepX
CCS COLLOQUY 2018 Project: @CCSMFAIXD is building a full-scale version of Pask's 1968 COLLOQUY OF MOBILES (@ICALondon) driven by modern digi software, sensors and motors. Stop by during CCS's SEO and stay tuned for exhibition dates! @paulpangaro https://t.co/1gIxBnEcFC
