This talk by curator and writer Ellen Lupton actively engages the audience in processes of perception, interpretation, and behavioral response. How do vision and language interact with taste and smell? How is a joke like a trainwreck? What does a Nina Simone song taste like? Is the shower scene in Hitchcock's Psycho actually violent? How does design make us feel and do? Explode your brain as you discover these answers and more! Interaction designers are invited to think about how designing for emotion, sensation, and the body can enhance user experience. This presentation draws on Lupton's ongoing research for her forthcoming book Design Is Storytelling.
