CUBIC Journal 8 Synergies of Interaction

Cubic Journal 8 looks at the complex relationship between design and computation in an era dominated by digital technologies. It critiques the current trend of prioritising technological gimmicks over thoughtful design principles, questioning the impact of code-driven complexity and uncontrolled scripting on design narratives and cultural understanding. Cubic Journal 8 explores the evolving role of the designer amidst user-generated content and AI-driven tools, exploring the place of design when users become active creators. It examines the potential of affective computing and extended reality to bridge the gap between users and designers, while also considering the unpredictable and emergent nature of computation in user-centered design outcomes.
