Stability and Change in Bounded Micro-Worlds
Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.
This presentation explores only one partial approach to this conundrum by considering the simplest of possible interactions underlying stability and change.
The talk is inspired by two unlikely bedfellows. On one hand are the musings of IDEO’s Peter Coughlan on how detailed and fine-grained his work had to be in order to successfully ‘design experience.’
On the other hand are the methodologies of the English philosopher J.G. Bennett on how to parse and analyse experience. Neither one was speaking of software. This presentation will not speak of software either. The audience will be invited to reflect on how (and if) the approach could be a heuristic for developers.
