The Oppenheimer Moment Everyone knows that technology products should not be evil. The problem is that few people know how to make that happen. Alan Cooper is addressing this challenge the same way he tackled interaction design a quarter of a century ago. In this provocative talk he will present the results of his most recent ground- breaking work. ALAN COOPER https://vimeo.com/254533098

Cultural bias in design(ers): Can being African make you bad at design? The talk has 2 main focus areas: * What is cultural bias is and why are people from certain parts of the world more likely to have certain biases. I’ll share stories of real teams and individuals affected by cultural bias. FARAI MADZIMA https://vimeo.com/255015805 * Practical tips for anticipating, identifying and adapting to cultural bias in the way we work. From hiring to induction, critique, research, presentation and more. I’ll look at ways to work better with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. This, so that they can be their best selves and help us make inclusive product experiences.

“If you think that diversity of thought is about different shades of brown or gender, then you’re not paying attention. You were not paying attention to what the wold needs from our industry. You’re not paying attention to what your colleagues need from you,”

Make things unknown Instead of giving large amounts of information, offering an empty vessel to act as a receptacle for creativity has the potential to make the recipient’s inspiration well up, achieving communication without an exchange of words. Likewise, rather than making things known, making people aware of how little they know can inspire greater interest and awaken an active desire to know. Here, I would like to describe the approach to communication taken by MUJI, and a project I have conducted together with my students at Musashino Art University, using them to talk about my own approach to design and design methodology.

Design to Ignite — Design sprints for transformation at scale In a world where everyone and everything is connected, the quality of interactions matter more than ever. They can shape or stifle emerging communities, erase or reinforce boundaries, build or destroy relationships. The practice of Interaction Design, currently over-committed to the interaction between humans and screens, is as well-suited to other interactions which drive large-scale dynamic systems – people to people, people to organizations, organizations to systems just to name a few.

The MasSive future of transport Our cities are facing a crisis. Merely a century ago, our streets were dominated by horses. The arrival of the automobile rapidly changed the way we moved, lived, and interacted. The car brought freedom of mobility to the masses, but it also impacted our urban environments in many unexpected ways. Private cars are amongst the most underused assets in the world. An average car sits unused 94% of the day, often occupying precious urban land. It is perhaps time to question why our cities aren’t necessarily designed to serve human needs first. APAAR TULI https://vimeo.com/254892928

Discussed the challenges of applying design processes to transportation, and explores what role user-centered design will play in enabling the shift towards people-centric transportation and human-centric cities.

More than human- centred design Is our modern belief in progress a false religion? The promise of relentless growth appears to move us forward, but at what cost? At a time when anxiety is fuelled by the loss of jobs, automation, fake news, lack of trust, climate change, extreme weather events, political upheaval and conflict - what meaningful role can designers play? The problems are far bigger and more complex than those we have been trained to “solve”. ANAB JAIN https://vimeo.com/254892928
