Description
Are digital interfaces controlling more than we realise? Can designers take responsibility, and should they?
From domestic appliances like Siri and Amazon Echo to large-scale Facebook manipulation and Google search prediction, digital interfaces are ubiquitous in everyday life, and their influences affect how people live, feel, and behave. As they grow in complexity and increase integration into our lives, we need to address the social, ethical, political, and aesthetic responsibilities of those designing and creating the computer systems all around us.
Through discussion with cutting-edge designers and thinkers and with international examples, the authors of Design and Digital Interfaces explain how we need an expanded aesthetic, critical, and ethical awareness on the part of designers willing to act with sensitivity and understanding towards the people they design for and with.
This critical take on the process and implications of interface design looks beyond the mechanics of making and into the techno-political realm of deliberate and unintended consequences.
