***In prep for next week, start collecting materials (or growing them)***

Discussion in groups - Part II: From ideation to in-depth concept

• What embodied interaction experience do you want to create?

• What inspires it? (material, relation, environment, data, topic...)

• What drives the design? (what role does it play, what does it provoke?)

• What data makes sense to use? 

• What metaphor could be relevant?

11.00 Guest Lecture:
Lucy Dukes 

Group study

Afternoon 

• Data mapping & fabrication
  
  

  • Input/Exercise: What meaning do you give to the data? What metaphors do you use for mapping? How to interact with machines and materials {jb}
    
    

  • Decide your group (4-5 people)

Morning 

10.00 Class presentation: First prototypes and research directions (8mn/group)

Initial prototype (show actual work) and Answer the questions we asked in the groups discussion: 

• From your design interest/wish, reflect on what drives it: data, material, fabrication technique, function, critique, curiosity, inspiration..?

• what is the data you will use and how do you collect it? (api, sensor, live, dataset, personal, collective etc…)

• how will you map it?

• how would you like to fabricate it? (technology used, materials used…)

• which interface for which material?

• what is the  larger socio-eco-political context of the material you are using?

• what story are you telling?
