Wednesday 29 October, we're joined by Sara Hendren at 10:00am.
A shortened version of her short version bio:
"artist, design researcher, and writer in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She makes material and digital artworks, writes, and lectures on adaptive and assistive technologies, prosthetics, inclusive design, accessible architecture, and related ideas... She teaches socially-engaged design practices, adaptive + assistive technologies, and disability studies for engineers-in-training at Olin College. She writes and edits Abler.
We explored her blog a few weeks ago; please do so again, with special attention to her three-part Adaptation essay; some of us may want to review her syllabus to Investigating Normal, a course she taught at RISD in Spring 2013. Here, we find reference to the idea "interrogative design, or critical design, or resonant design: that is, problem finding as well as problem solving; suspending questions by pressing together, in one artifact or set of artifacts, seemingly disparate or opposing ideas."
Sara will give a visiting artist talk at 11:30 in H-201.
