Concept-context-design: a creative model for the development of interactivity

ABSTRACT

Existing CHI interaction models are focused on understanding the needs of users. They begin with user tasks and user feedback. While the involvement of users is critical for human computer interaction development, so is the imagination the artist-scientist-designer-developer. We constitute a legitimate source of impetus in the definition and development of interactive artifacts, as well as functioning as interpreters, measurers, and respondents. The development of interactivity is a fundamentally creative process. This paper distills a creative model for the development of interactivity as a residue of the CollageMachine development experience. Both the model and the artifact are components that contribute to the integrated approach of interface ecology.
