Critical Making Design Process Cards - Garnet Hertz, 2015
Format: Prototyped set of handmade paper cards
Description: The Critical Making Design Process Cards are a physical card set built as an aid for technology designers to sketch and prototype new designs that are culturally relevant, socially engaged and challenging of current biases in commercial design. They bring together critically-engaged design methods and concepts like critical making (Ratto), critical technical practice (Agre), reflective design (Sengers), near futures (Bleecker), critical design (Dunne & Raby), values in design (Nissenbaum), tactical media (Lovink) and adversarial design (DiSalvo) into a practical brainstorming tool suitable for university classroom or commercial studio use. The cards will be commercially available in 2016.
