This pictorial illustrates the methodological tools for articulating the felt experience of chronic pain used for designing somaesthetic interactions. To do this, it presents the design process of a case study named Squeaky/Pain, a soma extension aiming to augment somaesthetic awareness of the pain involved in the appreciation of both pleasant and disturbing feelings and sensations. The soma extension is an interactive wearable that facilitates a sound-motion interaction to mimic the wearer’s pain experience, from agony to relief. The case study focuses on a less explored aspect of somaesthetic interactions which is the mediation of disturbing experiences for sensory awareness. Through the soma extension that mediates disturbing experiences, the study aims to improve people’s somatic knowledge and their lives as a result. The design process of Squeaky/Pain requires detailed accounts of lived bodily experiences to create somaesthetic interactions. To access a detailed articulation of felt experiences, various tools are employed to articulate the first- and second-person pain experience for design use. These are different types of body maps, video analysis, material and form explorations, journals, in-depth interviews and self-interviews. The ideation and the testing phases have proven that such tools complement one another to access the versatile aspects of felt experiences. In this pictorial, we demonstrate ways in which visual, verbal and written tools can be applied to reveal implicit bodily experiences to inform somaesthetic interaction design.

People's priorities have changed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, with impacts on architectural experiences and work spaces in particular as teleworking and technology have become increasingly relevant in this new reality. Moreover, there is increased interest in the impact that spaces have on health, productivity and well-being as variables such as lighting, acoustics, biophilia, shape, composition, size and more influence perception and emotional, cognitive and behavioural states. Evidence-based design makes it possible to scientifically understand information about the situations present before and after an action, providing a more holistic view of the phenomenon through parameterisation and producing an impact on decision-making as seen in the case of this study. This article presents a case study developed through a mixed methodology that combines theoretical research methods to gain scientific knowledge on the topic and trends in the sector, as well as empirical methods to study the specific context of the corporate headquarters at Tous in Manresa. As to the theoretical side of the paper, we have conducted a literature review in the WOS (Web of Science) database, complemented by two trend reports on the future of workspaces. Regarding the empirical study, we programmed three different sources to compile data from workers at different times, spaces and platforms. In parallel, we measured the parameters of the built environment in different locations over two work days. Among the results, the following stand out: the universe of relationships, evidenced by cross-disciplinary departments such as HR (human resources) and IT (computer technology), as well as the relationship between the Product, Sales, R&D and After-Sales departments; the status of employees, with neutral or positive values in cognitive states, and of the environment, space lacking colour and with little brightness and neutral in terms of light colour, atmosphere and ventilation; the detection of the positive aspects to improve and to incorporate; and the measurement of the physical parameters of the environment, high noise level, CO2 within the comfort range, high temperatures and over illuminated or poorly lit spaces, and their perception. Finally, we propose scientific evidence and trends arising from the relationship between objective and subjective data as a result of design strategies focused on people's well-being. These results are taken as the basis for making the changes implemented within a space.
由于COVID-19大流行，人们的优先事项发生了变化，特别是对建筑体验和工作空间产生了影响，因为远程办公和技术在这一新现实中变得越来越重要。此外，人们对空间对健康、生产力和福祉的影响越来越感兴趣，因为照明、声学、亲和性、形状、组成、大小等变量更能影响感知和情感、认知和行为状态。基于证据的设计使科学地理解行动前后的情况信息成为可能，通过参数化提供对现象的更全面的看法，并在本研究的情况下对决策产生影响。本文介绍了一个通过混合方法开发的案例研究，该方法结合了理论研究方法，以获得有关该主题和行业趋势的科学知识，以及实证方法，以研究Manresa Tous公司总部的具体背景。在论文的理论方面，我们在WOS (Web of Science)数据库中进行了文献综述，并辅以两份关于未来工作空间的趋势报告。在实证研究方面，我们编写了三种不同的来源，以汇编来自不同时间、空间和平台的工人的数据。与此同时，我们在两个工作日内测量了不同地点的建筑环境参数。在调查结果中，以下几个方面尤为突出:关系的广度，体现在HR(人力资源)和IT(计算机技术)等跨学科部门之间的关系，以及产品、销售、研发和售后部门之间的关系;员工的状态，在认知状态上具有中性或积极的价值观;环境，空间缺乏色彩，亮度小，在浅色，气氛和通风方面是中性的;发现需要改进和纳入的积极方面;以及测量环境的物理参数，高噪音水平，舒适范围内的二氧化碳，高温和过度照明或光线不足的空间，以及它们的感知。最后，我们提出了客观数据和主观数据之间的关系所产生的科学证据和趋势，这是关注人们福祉的设计策略的结果。这些结果将作为在空间内实现更改的基础。

This Person Does Exist is an artistic approach to exploring a large dataset of photographic portraits in a randomised manner. The dataset was originally created by Nvidia Research Lab, which has scraped and analysed creative commons images from the popular image hosting platform Flickr. These pictures were then used to train a machine learning model which can create new stochastic images of faces. In contrast to a popular website that showcases the computer generated images, I am displaying random faces from the dataset with their corresponding metadata. This essay looks into extractivist mechanisms in current machine learning techniques, using the internet to populate and refine databases, while focusing on artistic approaches that expose them. I make the case for Dataset Art as an emerging field which reframes scientific corpora by placing them into galleries and exhibiting them as found objects online. Finally, I argue that this artistic practice is a legitimate way of opening up a larger public discourse, although artists working with human data must be aware of ethical issues and responsibilities regarding privacy and consent.

This paper explores the capacities of design to interrogate the socio-spatial context in order to foreground conflict, dissent and dispute as creative practices to fuel urban transformation. In today’s urban habitat, spaces and actions do not mesh seamlessly. The city is characterised by a disjunction between the physicality of the urban fabric as a materialisation of ideologies and the relationality of contested supremacies and entropic dynamics that inhabit it. Consequently, the practices of contemporary transformative city-making need to be reinvented through temporality and impermanence, accounting for disorder and embracing instability. In that sense, antagonism is a key element to harness in critical design practices aimed at promoting urban diversity. In this paper we study how incorporating antagonism in design practices can trigger processes of urban reformulation by constituting liminal spaces of opportunity where democratisation emerges as a spatiotemporal practice. Two related case studies carried out in 2020 in the Raval neighbourhood of Barcelona (Subjective Cartographies: A Mirror of Diversity and Infrastructures for Public Space Interaction), are presented to explore how design can support dissidence and plurality, whether through identification and visualisation or by catalysing them as situated practices of active citizenship. In both case studies, design fosters de-hierarchisation and trans-linearity in the city, reclaiming the right to direct action in collective urban spaces. In this sense, this paper explores how design contributes to activating multiple processes of emancipated citizenship, harnessing conflict and constructive dissent as situated spatiotemporal practices to promote diversity. Facilitating the proliferation of counter-hegemonic notions of cosmopolitics, territory, domesticity and publicness, the design practices revisited in this paper operate between politics, space and affect in order to promote intersubjective relations in public spaces, using the material, temporal and affective dimensions of design to co-create diverse and resilient urban habitats.

Among the most decisive challenges that the climate crisis will bring during up coming decades will be the necessity to overcome the current lack of planetary ecosystem governance. The void that exists where proper geopolitics should reside demands a recalibration of the focus of design towards the conception, implementation, and support of new institutional models capable of reconfiguring established infrastructural, ecosystem and governance structures. The rising awareness of the lack of ecological agency has recently led to the emergence of several proto-policies branded under the name of “Green New Deals” (GNDs): the green proposals across the world that aim to address climate change and economic inequality. However, the implementation of the GND’s goals requires not only the necessary infrastructural means for decarbonisation but also a set of social insurance mechanisms able to guarantee social stability during the transition to a new energy regime. The complexity that this task poses in relation to society, the economy, manufacturing industries and goods and information logistics will require the establishment of an institution capable of intervening in the regulation and coordination of all the parties involved. Green Military New Deal (GMND) is a research proposal that lies between the legislative models of ecosystem governance and the institutions capable of enforcing them. It speculates about the military establishment as a proto-platform that could fulfil the institutional gap created by the GND’s demands. Would it be possible to reimagine the military establishment as a trans-national ecological force capable of mobilising and enforcing proper ecosystem management, conscious of its ability to act as a welfare provider while deploying its technological resources? Our research offers an informed approach toward this counterintuitive premise, uncomfortable as it may be, by forcing us to question how certain existing institutions could be properly repurposed to address issues of global necessity.
在未来几十年里，气候危机将带来的最具决定性的挑战之一，将是必须克服目前缺乏地球生态系统治理的问题。适当的地缘政治存在的空白需要重新调整设计的重点，转向能够重新配置现有基础设施、生态系统和治理结构的新制度模式的概念、实施和支持。随着人们越来越意识到生态机构的缺失，最近出现了一些以“绿色新政”(gds)为名义的政策原型:旨在解决气候变化和经济不平等问题的全球绿色提案。然而，实施绿色新政的目标不仅需要必要的脱碳基础设施，还需要一套能够在向新能源体制过渡期间保证社会稳定的社会保险机制。这项任务在社会、经济、制造业和货物及信息物流方面所造成的复杂性将要求建立一个能够干预所有有关各方的管理和协调的机构。绿色军事新政(Green Military New Deal, GMND)是一项介于生态系统治理立法模式和执行机制之间的研究提案。它推测，军事机构作为一个原型平台，可以填补由GND的要求造成的制度差距。是否有可能将军事机构重新设想为一支跨国生态力量，能够动员和执行适当的生态系统管理，意识到自己在部署技术资源的同时有能力充当福利提供者?我们的研究为这个违反直觉的前提提供了一种明智的方法，尽管它可能令人不舒服，它迫使我们质疑某些现有制度如何才能适当地重新利用，以解决全球必要性的问题。

Mari mutare is a transdisciplinary design research project about biocompatible prostheses inspired by the early Christian being called Green Man, a human-plant hybrid that represents the nature-culture continuum. These objects are intended to address human exceptionalism from a post-anthropocentric, feminist and queer perspective. The aim of Mari mutare is to explore the multiplicity of subjectivities in ourselves and, consequently, to influence the perception of others. Arising from the emerging field of synthetic biology, speculative design methodology supports this proposal and it materialises through transhackfeminist biopractices as tools for creating knowledge and projecting other possible futures. The experiments are conducted around the Petri dish as an epistemic object. The dish contains a symbiotic assembly of human and plant cells that interpenetrate, digest and partially assimilate while grazing the categories of kingdom, species, gender, culture and nature. While this process materialises, human subjects test their future limbs aided by an augmented reality (AR) filter, as a proxy for the physical reality, to hack into self-reflection and subjectivity, thus projecting themselves beyond the self. This project is currently a work-in-progress and is supported by Pro Helvetia, Hangar Barcelona (EU Biofriction programme), Utopiana Geneva and Hackuarium.
Mari mutare是一个跨学科的设计研究项目，其灵感来自于早期被称为绿人的基督徒，一个代表自然文化连续体的人与植物的杂交体。这些物品旨在从后人类中心主义、女权主义和酷儿的角度来解决人类例外论。Mari mutare的目的是探索我们自身主体性的多样性，从而影响他人的感知。从合成生物学的新兴领域兴起，思辨设计方法支持这一建议，并通过女权主义生物实践作为创造知识和预测其他可能未来的工具来实现。实验是围绕着皮氏培养皿作为认知对象进行的。培养皿包含人类和植物细胞的共生组合，它们相互渗透、消化和部分同化，同时放牧王国、物种、性别、文化和自然的类别。当这个过程实现时，人类受试者在增强现实(AR)过滤器的帮助下测试他们未来的肢体，作为物理现实的代理，进入自我反思和主观性，从而超越自我。该项目目前正在进行中，得到了Pro Helvetia、Hangar Barcelona(欧盟生物摩擦计划)、Utopiana Geneva和Hackuarium的支持。

The experience of the interconnected planet is the experience of an artificial totality, the result of the accelerated intersection of different invisible realms, topologies and layers that compete with one another following the irregular logics of rival interests, incompatible designs, non-human life form habits and rhythms, forms of resistance, errors, collateral effects and accidents. This issue of Temes de Disseny presents case studies and research practices that address the need to focus on these frictions from a variety of different perspectives in order to detect new forms of power and hidden inequalities as well as to envision unprecedented opportunities for intervention and counter-design.

This paper is a contribution to the discussion on the ethical and political limitations of institutionalised, dominant design practices and on the need to rethink the ways in which they operate. It points out that institutionalised design processes act as a dispositive of power that not only capture and colonise forms of life, but that also shape territories, bodies and languages through normative models that are exogenous to them. This discussion is crucial when thinking about the role that design has played in nurturing current crises. This paper is an inquiry into the possibility of design practice that is not institutionalised either by sovereign designing designers or by subordinated designed users, but that constitutes itself according to dynamics where design emerges as a common project-process of creative possibilities of being and becoming. Crucial aspects for a non-institutionalised design practice are identified through the analysis of a design experience with communities in Rio de Janeiro favelas. This paper shows how this design experience is based on a design approach that, through discursive structures, dynamically supports and is informed by dissent and consensus, and by the interplay between resistance and counter-resistance.

Crucial aspects for a non-institutionalised design practice are identified through the analysis of a design experience with communities in Rio de Janeiro favelas. This paper shows how this design experience is based on a design approach that, through discursive structures, dynamically supports and is informed by dissent and consensus, and by the interplay between resistance and counter-resistance.","PeriodicalId":34368,"journal":{"name":"Temes de Disseny","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85581170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We live in a dysfunctional world led by white-male dominated, patriarchal and capitalist societies that perpetuate continuous oppression. The public space is culturally perceived as a man’s world while women have been traditionally confined to the private one. Because claiming a safe public space for all is a political act, I want to actively cultivate a creative experience that facilitates dialogue, ideation and agency for self-identified women to reclaim their right to exist safely in it. My paper will focus on this creative experience, as a collective resistance, that started in Gainesville, FL at the Civic Media Center and has now become an ongoing, online and worldwide endeavour.

There has been a huge increase in the use of digital technology throughout healthcare in recent years, with everything from apps to wearable tech. The mental health and wellbeing sector has been no exception. There are a wide variety of digital mental health apps available directly from app stores, making therapeutic techniques accessible for every smartphone user. The COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing quarantines and lockdowns, followed by the current economic recession, have redefined the tech world's agenda. There has been an increased emphasis on mental wellbeing. Many of the well-known tech companies, whose core business is not even related to healthcare (such as Facebook, Telefonica, or Google) have invested in mental wellbeing, either through “moonshots” or by introducing new product segments. For their critics, this is a “do-good” gesture intended to detract attention from their data extraction processes. This leads us to question, what is it that these companies want to recommend to people through the use of mental wellbeing tech? What is the new set of values that they are promoting? In this article we critically analyse digital mental health products. We discuss how they might become a political tool, speculate on their side effects, and investigate outcomes of their increasing popularity. We want to move beyond the personal data privacy debate and tackle other potential issues – what does this data sharing mean in terms of a shift in collective psychology and ideologies? What is the potential for them to become political tools? Is this a step towards human and non-human convergence?
