Design for friction. An inquiry to position friction as a method for reflection...
Benedetti, Andrea; Mauri, MicheleTo solve emerging problems, design uses new technologies to introduce “technofixes” (Hankey & Tuszynski, 2017) that are created to improve society in various capacities. The dissolution of technology, described as “ubiquitous computing”, brings with its pervasiveness a series of consequences to the constant production of personal data online (Greene, 2019; Manovich, 2012) that tech companies have now access...
Designing network visualizations for genetic literary criticism
Elli, Tommaso; Benedetti, Andrea; Pallacci, Valentina; Spadini, Elena; Mauri, MicheleIn this paper we present the outcomes of a research aimed at designing a new visual model for the analysis and presentation of data of genetic criticism carried out in collaboration between researchers in information design and literary scholars of the project [name of the project redacted for blind review]. The design process involved three moments: gathering of information for the definition of design require...
A literature review on “friction” as a method for reflection in design interven...
Benedetti, Andrea; Mauri, MicheleThe article proposes a literature review on how design could be a viable way to make users reflect when using design products in the larger context of data production through digital technologies. Design practitioners con-sider quickness, ease of use, and smoothness as hallmarks of good design that produces digital interfaces that do not disclose what is happening behind the surface, creating opaque situations ...
Designing network visuaizations for genetic literary criticism
Elli, Tommaso; Benedetti, Andrea; Pallacci, Valentina; Spadini, Elena; Mauri, MicheleWe present a research project aimed at de-signing a new visual model for the analysis and presentation of data of genetic criticism, an approach to the study of literature that inquires about the genesis of literary works. The project was carried out in collaboration between researchers in information design and literary scholars, in the context of the project «Gustave Roud.Œuvres completes». The introduced vis...
