Digitalization leads to a pervasive and ubiquitous connectedness of actors. After decades of user- or human-centered design, we are looking at different types of actors in their context of interdependencies, interactions and relations of a bigger network. We explore interfaces and possible interactions with\/amongst those actors, preferably in the context of urban transformations taking into consideration the participation of citizens, possible social interactions, mobility with flows of information, goods and people.<\/h2>\n<p>By empirical studies (e.g. ethnographacial), cartographies, mapping, prototyping we are looking for emerging modes of interactions and create the respective interfaces. Interfaces can be spaces of interactions or physical and tangible touchpoints of human or non-human interaction with \/ in networks.<br \/>\nThis requires an openness in our approach to\u00a0problems as well as in the usage of tools and methods: \u201cTo a man with a hammer everything looks\u00a0like a nail,\u201d Mark Twain noted more than a century\u00a0ago.<\/p>\n<p>Digitalization has an enormous impact on society\u00a0and design. Interface \/ Interaction Design creates and unveils\u00a0opportunities for interactions with things, products, and services. Therefore, we should not exclusively ask about\u00a0human activities or experiences or the functioning of things, but consider\u00a0distributed actions of human and non-human actors.\u00a0How can citizen engage in their specific environment or context? How can participation be designed? How can action be based on informed decisions in a complex world, in filter bubbles and post-truth societal contexts?<br \/>\nAnalog and digital prototypes envision new approaches and are the basis for a reflection and critical analysis of\u00a0possible futures. In Interface \/ Interaction Design, we\u00a0are working with pilots and experiments, prototypes\u00a0 and scenarios to create things, products, services or\u00a0 systems. We are using ethnographical approaches to\u00a0understand human (and also non-human) needs and\u00a0\u2028perspectives in specific situations (e.g. urban mobilities)\u00a0and come up with new approaches. Intercultural and international collaborations add further dimensions to the\u00a0understanding of problems.<\/p>\n<p>From this year on, there will be a research focus on cities and digitalization, also participating in the newly established research group \u201cReal-Time City\u201d at KISD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Both, human and non-human actors are part of systems or networks influencing each other.
