The computer is a medium, not a tool : collaborative media challengin...
Löwgren, Jonas; Reimer, Bo Journal article in Challenges;1 : Molecular Diversity Preservation International (MDPI) AG (2013)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

Collaborative media entail an emerging set of digitally mediated practices, characterized by collaborative communicative action within organically developing, cross-medial infrastructures. We argue that computers are increasingly turning from tools into (collaborative) media in everyday use, and that this shift poses a significant challenge to the discipline of interaction design. Particularly prominent aspects of the challenge include the way design processes are conceptualized and structured, and the way in which communicative perspectives take precedence over instrumental ones.

Mobile social choreographies : choreographic insight as a basis for r...
Kozel, Susan Journal article in The International Journal of Performance and Digital Media;2 : Intellect Journals (2010)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

Creative use of networked wireless communications devices (such as mobile phones) contributes to a vibrant strand of media art called locative media, and has captured the imaginations of geographers, media artists, architects, engineers, and philosophers. Now it is time for dancers and choreographers to contribute to the critical and creative activity around corporeality, expression, and mobile technologies in social contexts. This paper proposes an emergent area of research in combining dance and mobile technologies called social choreographies, and considers artistic research methodologies relevant to this newly framed domain that are rooted in improvisatory studio practices and drawing a choreographic sensibility into urban environments.

Revealing practices : Heidegger's techne interpreted through performa...
Kozel, Susan Journal article in Performance Research;4 : Routledge (2005)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

This article is a dialogue across the practices of philosophy and live performance. Martin Heidegger's 1955 lecture 'The Question Concerning Technology' is used increasingly to problematize practices of computational art, in this article his ideas are grounded in the improvisational practices of two art projects: the wearable computing installation called 'whisper' and the performance using 3 different motion tracking and capture systems called 'immanence.' These projects demonstrate an approach to technologies in performance that enhances otherness and the unpredictability associated with improvisation, thereby lending weight to Heidegger's claim that one turns to art to better understand technology because "the essence of technology is nothing technological".

On the spot experiments within healthcare
Björgvinsson, Erling; Hillgren, Per-Anders Journal article in PDC 04 : Proceedings of the eighth conference on Participatory design: Artful integration: interweaving media, materials and practices; : ACM (2004)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

This paper reports the value of On the Spot Experiments with self-produced content and the use of technology within healthcare. On the Spot Experiments are experiments conducted in the setting of on going clinical work and patient care. We begin by relating our work to approaches within ethnography and work place studies which link ethnography and design. Thereafter we describe how we have carried out On the Spot Experiments in two projects where we have explored the possibilities of self-produced learning material. The first project described is within an intensive care unit setting where the staff and designers explored the making of self-produced videos on different procedures and their use in handheld computers. The second project described focuses on patient learning at a hand surgery clinic where we explored the possibilities of individualised video training instructions. In both cases the On the Spot Experiments have shown fruitful results in different aspects of clinical work and how the use of content and technology might affect this work. A key factor has been exploring what relevant content could be. We conclude by outlining some qualities and limits of doing On the Spot Experiment

Open-ended participatory design as prototypical practice
Björgvinsson, Erling Journal article in CoDesign : International Journal of CoCreation in Design and the Arts;2 : Taylor & Francis (2008)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

This article argues in favour of seeing co-design as an open-ended exploration where prototypical practices are explored that engender favourable conditions for ongoing negotiation of meaning. Participatory design approaches to designing for specific practices are reviewed with particular focus on how to handle constantly evolving practices, where some design researchers argue for creating open and flexible technical systems while others emphasise design as primarily concerned with questions of changing practices. By discussing an extended participatory design project in which new ways of engaging in informal learning through self-produced videos were explored in an intensive care unit, I argue first and foremost for viewing co-design as prototypical practice which is explored through an open-ended exploration of possibilities. Second, I argue that a focus on practice necessarily requires in situ explorations to see if the proposed design explorations invoke relevant prototypical practices in the midst of work. Third, I argue that a focus on practice entails viewing tools as temporary props for various settings, rather than as central features that define the settings of learning, knowing and working.
