Anxiety and Trust. And other Expressions of Interaction
design. The most important contributions are: a) design experiments, as
examples of work exploring aesthetics of interaction, b) a framework and
concepts to support reflection on, and the understanding of forms and
expressions of interactive computational devices, c) methods and
exercises that exemplify how to develop a better sensibility to aesthetics
of interaction.
The concepts and methods presented aim to contribute to a language that
can be used in the design process, in personal reflections, in discussions
with colleagues and as a basis for decision making. The background is the
need and wish for a richer language in the interaction design process – to
be able to put words to, and communicate matters of interaction in a
precise way.
The thesis presents an alternative approach to the recent trends within the
field of interaction design that focus on user experience and aesthetic
experience. The framework and concepts introduced are intended to be of
use when talking about interaction before there is any, i.e., before any
design exists that people can interact with. Therefore, the framework and
the concepts do not refer to actual use or people’s experiences. Instead
they refer to the device itself, to how the device relates possible
interaction to its functions, and how this relation can be expressed in
certain context of use. Aesthetics is seen as the whole of how a design
relates interaction and function to each other and how that relation is
being expressed by and through the design.
