DOT DOT DOT: "The Modularists"
The MFA Interaction Design Lecture Series
Join us for our February lecture, featuring four speakers giving four
talks in forty minutes. This month’s topic:
“The Modularists”
The insight required to craft modular systems requires designers to
think through several variations of form and function — often beyond
the original intent of an object, product, or service. How much does
the design of discrete modules affect the integrity of the larger
system? Should designers expect to wield control over any part of a
user experience of modular systems? Four guest lecturers will examine
a range of projects and trends in modular design, culminating in a
discussion of the role of modularity among a group who value putting
the power to create in the hands of everyone.
Speakers
* Brendan Dawes, Magnetic North, UK
* Jeff Hoefs, littleBits, Smart Design
* Nick Bilton, Designer, User Interface Specialist, Technologist,
Journalist, Hardware Hacker, Researcher
