Day 4: (Mon Jan 29, Week 3) Peer Review

Notes for 2024-01-29.

New Assignments

• Due before next class: Exercise: Art and Design Inspirations. Please submit to Exercise 4 Shared Folder.

Agenda

1. Review of peer review exercise (about 10 minutes per paper)

   • Why did you pick it?

   • What can we learn from this paper?

   • Summary of judgement?

2. Papers

3. Mid-class break.
   
   

4. Discussion of Art and Design Literature

   • Art Literature

   • Bibliography of Soft Art (S24)

   • S23 course art bibliography

   • Videos of Related Work

5. Breakouts. What scope of work in art and design which might inform our approach?

   1. Brainstorm search terms and starting point for art and design work related to the course theme of soft technology.

   2. Try to quickly find an example of what you think might be relevant. It’s fine to pick something you’ve seen before.

   3. Discussion.
