Higher needs in HCI
• Aesthetics & Poetics
13年10月7⽇日星期⼀一
Aesthetic Interaction as...
• logics of expressions for accepting things in our lives (Hallnäs and Redström)
• interaction gestalt and attributes for aesthetics (Lim et al.)
• attention to “the richness of a system’s appearance, interaction, and potential roles (Djajadiningrat et al.)
• graceful interaction (Hashim et al.)

Aesthetics with Pragmatist’s turn
• Phenomenology of Perception as a stance: no absolute aesthetics (Hummels & Overbeeke)
• Seeking definite definitions might lead to endless argument
• Analytic Aesthetics vs. Pragmatist Aesthetics (Shusterman)
• Pragmatist Aesthetics as a strong theoretical basis for designing interactive systems (Peterson et al.)

Pragmatist poetics
• understand what poetic interaction is by asking what it does
• embody a real poem in daily practice.

Poetics vs. Aesthetics
• not necessarily related to beauty
• not always perfect
• not about completion
• not rational, not always consistent
• not reflective
• not a logic of expression
• not emotional pleasing

Poetic Interaction Design
• a vague term• an intangible notion• how about seeing poetic interaction
design as a paradigm?
13年10月7⽇日星期⼀一
Research Questions
• What are the basic beliefs of poetic interaction design paradigm?
• What is the relationship between the design researcher and knowledge from designing poetic interaction?
• What kinds of methodology and tactics are appropriate for poetic interaction design?
• What is there that can be known as poetic interaction?

Theoretical Studies
• Poetic Wisdom (Vico, 1744)
• Phenomenology of Poetics (Bachelard, 1994)
• Metaphors and Poetics (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980)
13年10月7⽇日星期⼀一
Poetic Wisdom (Vico)
• Poetic character: nature human instincts
• Wisdom: the power of reflection and reasoning
• Imagination: the center of poetic character

Phenomenology of poetics (Bachelard)
• “a sincere impulse toward admiration is always necessary if we are to receive phenomenological benefit of a poetic image”
• poetics associates to “unfinalization” or “implicitness.”
• material imagination vs. formal imagination
13年10月7⽇日星期⼀一
Metaphors & Poetics
• Metaphors: central to the understanding, not only rhetorical (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980)
• Poetic metaphors vs. prosaic metaphors (Numberg, 1987)

Related Work
• Poetic Design (Ionascu, 2010)• Poetic Interaction Design (Kolko, 2007)

Poetic Design (Ionascu)
• a class of objects beyond instrumental (functional, practical) power
• ‘Play could become a creative design process embodying uncommon forms of use that regenerate a poetics of everyday life”

Poetic Interaction Design (Kolko)
• A type of reflective and emotional design
• (It) “resonates immediately but continues to inform later”
• “nearly always subtle, yet mindful.”
• reflection ? reasoning activity about poetics
• I argue: felt experience of poetics itself

Poetic Interaction design as a Paradigm
• Epistemological stance: a pragmatist and constructivist approach to poetics
• Methodology: A framework based on Verplank’s
• Ontological implication
13年10月7⽇日星期⼀一
Epistemological Stance
• Designerly ways of knowing poetics• Poetics as experience• Embodied poetics

Material Imagination (Bachelard)
• Material imagination is an idea that comes from contact with nature.
• Material imagination vs. formal imagination
• 4 elements: earth, water, fire, air.
13年10月7⽇日星期⼀一
Four types of Imaginations
• Material imagination• Expression imagination• Function imagination• Form imagination
13年10月7⽇日星期⼀一
POETIC MATERIAL
• The material itself of an artifact eliciting poetic imagination
• a novel, alternative, or uncommon usage of a specific material.
• Material: indicating literally physical matters, or metaphorically, issues and topics.

Discussion
• ‘Wicked problems’?• Problem-solving?• Critical Design: learning by questioning• Reflective Design: providing conscious
awareness
13年10月7⽇日星期⼀一
Discussion
• Ambiguity & Ludic values
• Mythical world as underlining belief of life (Vico)
• to give sense and passion to insensate things (Vico) rather than to solve ‘wicked problems’ in the functional world.
• Imagination upon unknowing things (Vico)

Conclusion
• construct poetic interaction design as a paradigm
• practical framework• seeing Poetic Interaction Design as an
ontology of interaction design
