<div>::CALL FOR DESIGN WORKS:: ACM SIGCHI Designing Interactive Systems</div>
<div>———————————————————————————</div>
<div>4-8 June 2016, Brisbane, Australia</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The ACM SIGCHI Conference on Designing Interactive Systems (DIS) is the</div>
<div>premier international arena where designers, artists, psychologists, user</div>
<div>experience researchers, and systems engineers come together to debate and</div>
<div>shape the future of interactive systems design and practice.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>———————————————————————————</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>THE DESIGN WORKS TRACK OF THE 2016 ACM SIGCHI DESIGNING INTERACTIVE</div>
<div>SYSTEMS CONFERENCE IS SEEKING SUBMISSIONS FROM PRACTICE AND DESIGN-LED</div>
<div>RESEARCHERS WITH CREATIVE WORKS FOR EXHIBITION AND AN ACCOMPANYING</div>
<div>‘FRAMING TEXT’ ARTICULATING THE PRACTICE AND RESEARCH</div>
<div>RELATIONSHIP.ACCEPTED WORKS WILL BE EXHIBITED IN A GALLERY SETTING AND</div>
<div>THEIR ACCOMPANYING FRAMING TEXTS WILL BE PUBLISHED IN THE ACM DIS 2016</div>
<div>COMPANION PROCEEDINGS AS EXTENDED ABSTRACTS.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As design practices are integrated with other modes of research, there is</div>
<div>a need to present new knowledge in the form of design itself. This is</div>
<div>often the case where researchers express new design knowledge through the</div>
<div>languages of design, and where works are interactive with an experiential</div>
<div>dimension. Conversely, the ability to share knowledge through the</div>
<div>presentation of the artefact alone is also problematic (Scrivener 2002).</div>
<div>Very often the knowledge and lessons learnt in design work remains tacit</div>
<div>in the practitioner or latent in the object. Research efforts, such as</div>
<div>evaluations, theoretical framing and literary or contextual reviews do</div>
<div>accompany much creative practice (Candy and Edmonds 2010) and such</div>
<div>approaches, along with direct presentation of the artefact, can facilitate</div>
<div>bridging the research-practice divide.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The essential aims of this stream at DIS 2016 are to facilitate this</div>
<div>bridging and to present the locus of our discipline: the design outcome.</div>
<div>The exhibition and publications are a forum for discussing the dual</div>
<div>practice and research work and, in so doing, gain deeper insight into the</div>
<div>relationships between creative work and knowledge. We seek to provide</div>
<div>designers and artists who also conduct research with a platform to show</div>
<div>non-traditional research outputs and share the accompanying knowledge</div>
<div>outcomes. Submissions are expected to describe the proposed design work</div>
<div>for installation (part 1) as well as a ‘framing text’ (part 2). The term</div>
<div>‘framing’ comes from Donald Schӧn’s The Reflective Practitioner (Schön</div>
<div>1983) and refers to the articulation of a question or theme that the work</div>
<div>explores. The role of the framing text is to contextualise the creative</div>
<div>work and articulate the knowledge or understandings generated, in order to</div>
<div>share these with the community. Typically, the articulation of knowledge</div>
<div>or understandings is through a theoretical analysis and critical framing</div>
<div>of the work, or through evaluation studies. Design Works submissions</div>
<div>accepted for exhibition at DIS 2016 will be published by the ACM in the</div>
<div>Digital Library.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We welcome submissions for design and creative interactive works related</div>
<div>to contemporary research issues in design of interactive systems as well</div>
<div>as the conference theme of FUSE – research exploring the range of new</div>
<div>possibilities along the human and technology spectrum – the blurring of</div>
<div>any clear divides between analogue and digital, atoms and bits,</div>
<div>materiality and virtuality, art and design, academy and industry. We</div>
<div>encourage strong content and criticality in submitted works, conveyed</div>
<div>through the use of advanced technologies and/or inclusive or socially</div>
<div>aware design practices. Submissions are expected to be resolved</div>
<div>exhibition-ready works of design that represent expressions of new design</div>
<div>knowledge. The focus is your creative work.</div>
<div><br>
</div>

<div>DIS 2016 will be held in the beautiful, subtropical city of Brisbane in</div>
<div>Queensland, Australia. DIS 2016 will be hosted by Queensland University of</div>
<div>Technology surrounding one of the world’s largest digital interactive and</div>
<div>learning environments in the new $230 million Science and Engineering</div>
<div>Centre. There are three reasons to visit Australia in 2016 with DIS being</div>
<div>held back to back with the Vivid Light, Music & Ideas Festival 2016</div>
<div>(<a href="http://vividsydney.com">vividsydney.com</a>) and the Media Architecture Biennale (MAB) from 1-4 June</div>
<div>2016 in Sydney (<a href="http://mab16.org">mab16.org</a>).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We look forward to seeing you at DIS’16. In the meantime, please follow us</div>
