any duplication
You are invited to attend the April 2009 Mellon Seminar in Digital
Humanities: http://tinyurl.com/472nah
Topic: Info-Triage and Sticky Media: Intersections of Design Theory &
the Digital Humanities
Presenter: Peter Lunenfeld
Date: Monday, April 6, 2009
Time: 2 pm – 5 pm SLT/PDT
Location:
Real Life (RL): UCLA Visualization Portal (5628 Math and Sciences
Bldg.)
Second Life (SL): Entropia, the Digital Library Federation’s SL
island—rsvp needed
Second Life basic accounts are free: http://secondlife.com
NOTE to SL attendees: Please rsvp to Esther Grassian
estherg@library.ucla.edu to reserve a space and receive the SLURL (SL
url), as well as instructions for viewing the live video feed and
adjusting the audio in SL.
Contemporary theories of communication design, interaction design, and
media design are important to the overall project of the digital
humanities. In contrast to fine art, architecture, and film, design
was slow to accrete sophisticated aesthetic and social theories;
historically, designers themselves created a maker's discourse heavy
on technical analysis. Coincident with the rise of design as a
cultural force since the beginning of this decade, though, a more
rigorous and informed theoretical attention to design emerged. 21st
century design theory offers powerful ways to think about interactive
technologies and creative practices. Combining strategies from design
theory with the deep resonance offered by the digital humanities
increases the potential for mindful downloading and meaningful
uploading.
Peter Lunenfeld is a professor in the Design | Media Arts department
at UCLA. His books include The Digital Dialectic (MIT, 1999), Snap to
Grid (MIT, 2000) USER (MIT, 2005), and The Secret War Between
Downloading and Uploading (forthcoming). As creator and editorial
director of the Mediawork project, he produced a pamphlet series for
the MIT Press that redefined the relationship between serious academic
discourse and graphic design. http://www.peterlunenfeld.com
The reading for this seminar, an excerpt from Prof. Lunenfeld's
upcoming book The Secret War Between Downloading and Uploading: How
the Computer Became Our Culture Machine, will be emailed to the
mailing list for the seminar rather than posted to the website.
Best,
Esther

The workshop will also introduce an instructional design approach based on Carol Kuhlthau's Information Search Process model, which provides a conceptual framework for instruction that fosters students' information-to-knowledge journey.
Where:
Augustana Campus Library(University of Alberta Libraries), Camrose, AB, Canada
For updates, watch the listservs, and workshop webpage www.augustana.ualberta.ca/library/workshop
