"I am interested in the medium of response, and in the conditions that enable people to experience creative feedback with reactive artworks.
This presentation will discuss a wide range of my own projects, with a particular attention to how the use of gestural interfaces, visual abstraction, and information visualization can support new modes of interaction, play, and self-discovery. I introduce the term "speculative HCI (human computer interaction) design" to frame a mode of inquiry in which novel interactions are proposed, implemented and evaluated, not for their applicability to solving problems, but for their inherent potential to pose new ones. I conclude with a brief overview of the STUDIO for Creative Inquiry, a unique meta-laboratory at Carnegie Mellon University which supports atypical, interdisciplinary, and inter-institutional projects at the intersection of arts, technology and culture." by Golan Levin
