New BDes(Hons) Interaction Design

Happenings

A discussion over wine on Saturday night included the question:

How come there’s nothing in London that fills the huge gap between Dorkbot (grass roots, tending towards techie, free, unpretentious, unpredictable) and Pecha Kucha (pay 12 quid to get in and then swank about drinking with artists and designers all night)…?

And then this happened, erm, happened!

This happened is a series of events focusing on the stories behind interaction design. Having ideas is easier than making them happen. We delve into projects that exist today, how their concepts and production process can help inform future work.

Interaction design companies are often too closed off to the outside. We want to encourage people to be more open in their methods and ideas. We aim to have a mix of established practitioners, commercial companies and students. We want to encourage the perspectives from the other side of the fence, so will also be inviting curators and commissioners of work to give presentations.

The first one is next week, 2nd May. Looking forward to it!
