I am very pleased to be able to announce This happened, 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.
This happened was started by Chris O’Shea (Pixelsumo), Joel Gethin Lewis (United Visual Artists) and Andreas Müller (Nanika). Each event will be curated by the trio to select a balance of speakers and topics related to the field.
The first event takes places on Wednesday 2nd May, 7:45pm at The Griffin (Shoreditch London). More details. Register online to attend. If you cannot attend, videos of the talks will be posted online.
The speakers are…
Orlando Mathias Co founder of AllofUs will talk about Stanislavsky Museolobby, a large-scale permanent installation within a newly renovated commercial space in Moscow, to commemorate Konstantin Stanislavski, pioneer of what was to become method acting.
Moritz Waldemeyer is an artist, designer and engineer. He will talk about his collaboration with fashion designer Hussein Chalayan, creating kinetic and dynamic display dresses.
Luckybite is Tom Hulbert and Durrell Bishop. Durrel will talk about a recent collaboration with Industrial Facility to create a web connected product, requiring unexpected quick footwork in a maze of unreliable technologies.
Troika will talk about the campaign they designed for MTV around the ‘Tool for Armchair Activists’ to raise awareness about the forthcoming Europe Music Awards 2006, which took place in Copenhagen on its Radhuspladsen in November.
