project #3: symposium foray...

Denise's assignment for project 3:

Propose and complete a design study that addresses an intersection (a point) rooted in (1) your thesis questions and (2) an aspect of the symposium theme "Design, Community and the Rhetoric of Authenticity."

The proposal/project will be:

1. Supported by precedents, textual and/or visual.
2. Pointed and specific.
3. Investigative of design issues.
4. Manifested in artifact(s).

Some of my initial ideas:

Points within my thesis

• Understanding information
• Making decisions about web/info
• Shifting nature of attention
• Triage
• Making connections among points of information
• Finding relevance (context)
• Establishing credibility / critical thinking

Points within Symposium

• Authentic experience
• Real vs. faux
• Vernacular of internet
• Finding relevance (context)
• Community making connections

Here is the visual brief I showed in class to discuss the tentative directions I wanted to move in:
