Mapping UX: the Cultural Web and cultural change

This chapter summarises a workshop presented at the UX in Libraries Conference VI, 2022. In response to critiques of UX as being project-based rather than embedded in organisational culture, this article and the workshop explore how we can picture UX and ethnography as core to the business of the library, through describing the application of Johnson's Cultural Web as a tool for both describing the current position of UX within an organisation and what a desired position may look like

Community In transition in terms of cuilinary ritual: design of personalized food delivery service

FOOE explores the next popular element in culinary rituals: improving eating quality relates to health and well-being. The design is based on research and inquiries and inspired by the subscription business model and service model. FOOE is a customized food distribution App that provides a subscription service on raw food delivery. The algorithm offers the optimized food choice according to each user’s condition. Users can monitor their nutrient intake concerning body statistics on the application. The thesis will elaborate on the business model, distribution model, sustainable goals, and application overview. This project analyzes future culinary trends from the perspective of world food history, e.g., the genetic and climatic discrepancies that determined the regional culinary traits and politics and economies that provoked food hierarchies in changing forms throughout global history. Quality eating is one of the trends, but there are realistic factors that encumber many populations to adopt healthy diets. One particular reason is that work/study plus household chores take up a large amount of individual time. Paying much attention to meals causes fatigue, which elicits a necessity to change the present food ritual. Singaporean and Swedish have experienced revolutionary social transitions in culinary rituals and family structure. Both involved specific facilitators such as industrialization and social consensus. The thesis will also investigate Kibbutz, an example of self-sufficient intentional living to discuss the possibility of local-reliant provisioning and a thorough study of the existing product with a similar function

ρan-ρan

"With the peristaltic gurglings of this gastēr-investigative procedural – a soooo welcomed addition to the ballooning corpus of slot-versatile bad eggs The Confraternity of Neoflagellants (CoN) – [users] and #influencers everywhere will be belly-joyed to hold hands with neomedieval mutter-matter that literally sticks and branches, available from punctum in both frictionless and grip-gettable boke-shaped formats. A game-changer in Brownian temp-controlled phoneme capture, ρan-ρan’s writhing paginations are completely oxygen-soaked, overwriting the flavour profiles of 2013’s thN Lng folk 2go with no-holds-barred argumentations on all voice-like and lung-adjacent functions. Rumoured by experts to be dead to the World™, CoN has clearly turned its ear canal arrays towards the jabbering OMFG feedback signals from their scores of naive listeners, scrapping all lenticular exegesis and content profiles to construct taped-together vernacular dwellings housing ‘shrooming atmospheric awarenesses and pan-dimensional cross-talkers, making this anticipatory sequel a serious competitor across ambient markets, and a crowded kitchen in its own right. An utterly mondegreen-infested deep end may deter would-be study buddies from taking the plunge, but feet-wetted Dog Heads eager to sniff around for temporal folds and whiff past the stank of hastily proscribed future fogs ought to ©k no further than the roll-upable-rim of ρan-ρan’s bleeeeeding premodern lagoon. Arrange yerself cannonball-wise or lead with the #gut and you’ll be kersplashing in no times.

The changing face of human-computer interaction in the age of ubiquitous computing

HCI is reinventing itself. No longer only about being user centered, it has set its sights on pastures new, embracing a much broader and far-reaching set of interests. From emotional, eco-friendly, embodied experiences to context, constructivism and culture, HCI research is changing apace: from what it looks at, the lenses it uses and what it has to offer. Part of this is as a reaction to what is happening in the world; ubiquitous technologies are proliferating and transforming how we live our lives. We are becoming more connected and more dependent on technology. The home, the crèche, outdoors, public places and even the human body are now being experimented with as potential places to embed computational devices, even to the extent of invading previously private and taboo aspects of our lives. In this paper, I examine the diversity of lifestyle and technological transformations in our midst and outline some 'difficult' questions these raise together with alternative directions for HCI research and practice
