DHS 2022 Conference Workshop
Visualizing design microstories
Towards an alternative design history timeline
The history of design has been broadening its scope to welcome a divergent, more inclusive, decentralized, gender-balanced perspective, or better a range of perspectives. Often these divergent perspectives are presented in “microstories”, stories which are complete in themselves and offer a self-conclusive narration partial and limited in relation to “canonical” design history. Bringing these microstories together within a computational interface might give the opportunity to constitute a transient design history, one in opposition to a fixed, immutable, conservative view of design history. An atlas of design history which constitutes a work-in-progress, a proposal, maybe a radical view of design histories.
The workshop “Visualizing design microstories: Towards an alternative design history timeline” aims to gather a community of design historians and researchers to contribute and explore the possibilities of this design history visualization. We invite you to share with us the studies/research as position papers, preliminary research, and case studies that focus on a divergent view of design history.
Participants are required to submit their contribution in a short abstract through the online registration form. All accepted contributions will be published and archived digitally. The participants don't require any previous knowledge about visualization techniques or technical tools.
The workshop will be held in hybrid mode with a first session online and consequently a physical+online meeting in Izmir on 7th September contextually with DHS 2022 conference Design & Transience. All participants are required to participate in both sessions. They will receive a confirmation email upon acceptance. Further information about the sessions will be provided below.
