Pervasive awareness applications: aesthetic and ludic aspects

ABSTRACT

This paper presents a workshop organized in conjunction with DIMEA2008 with focus on ludic and aesthetic aspects of Pervasive Awareness Systems. The workshop aims at bringing together different perspectives on the topic and challenge mainstream assumptions underlying the design of these systems. The workshop combines presentations and hands-on activities with the aim to promote interactivity and creativity.
