Pauric, I really agree w/ you about the importance of sketching as
more of an associative ideation action than meerly one of proxy
models.
Now that I think I understand this idea of resistance embedded in
materials. It sounds like understanding what I have alluded to in the
past as "your canvas". Some of these are physical properties in
"the medium" and others are quite human in quality.
What I see in interaction design are similar resistances that come
out of the contexts of use, but also just human limitations, no?
It's what Bill Buxton called "G-d's Law" ("-" is mine). This
is why cog psyc and HF are so important to what we do.
But I also wonder if there isn't resistance in culture. I.e. the
differences between Japanese uses of NFC and other Industrialized
nations has been spoken about in terms of cultural acceptance around
privacy "fears". Would this also be a material resistance? A
cultural one?
Am I generalizing resistance too much beyond the intention?
