Week 1: Introduction

Week 2-3: Visualizing a communication message
In this workshop, students try to understand how to visualize abstract and concrete concept in a communication message. To achieve this aim, we choose one abstract and one concrete concept randomly and ask student to create and draw a meaningful message exploring a relationship between those. During the workshop, they are allowed for library search. A tutorial is served at beginning of the course. The workshop continues. At the end, final sketches are discussed in the class. See projects.

Week 4-5: Visualizing an information
In this workshop, students meet representation problems of a visual information. To get familiar with the design problem, they try to draw an equipment for concept of ?how to make? or ?how it works? . A tutorial is served at the beginning of the course. At the end of the workshop, final sketches are discussed in the class. See projects.

Week 6-7: The study of "visibility" and "affordance"
The lecture concentrates on philosophy of interaction design, as talking on well-known references. After the lecture, students writes an assignment on ?interactions in everyday life? The student assignments are discussed in the class.

Week 8-9: Principles in Usability
This lecture introduces the rules for functionality in interactive design. Students are asked to search relevant examples and to analyse basic interactions. See projects.

Week 10: Interaction-in-mind : Cinematographic Experiments
This film-reading focuses on interaction-in-mind. To understand the concept, students studies master pieces of Kieslowski: Three colour and finds alternatives examples.
Viewing:
  Kieslowski K.: Three Colours: White, Blue,Red, Artifical Eye Video, London, UK,
 

Week 11: Scenography and interaction
Scenography is a controversial word although it is remembered with theater. Because it covers also architecture, cinematography, fine arts and is getting important issue for interaction design as well. This lecture looks at the concept of contemporary scenography and its relationship with interaction.

Week 12-13: Cultural Transformation in interactive media
Pervious cultures have been investigated quite interesting interactive structure in the limitation of past technology. Today we can transform that ideas in current technology to experiment new form of interactivity. Here, this lecture and workshop concentrate on the transformation of cultural exploration in interactive design. In the workshop, students discuss how to achieve these aims.

Week 14*: Introduction to Interaction and Imagination
Today computer environment makes quite intense illusion. However imagination is also important for more creative thinking. This lecture argues how we can make interactive media more imaginative
At end of the lecture, student discus how to achieve these aims.

(*) This final lecture is taken, unless the students enroll studio work in interaction design
