Sneve Martinussen & Knutsen :: Immaterials: Adventures in the Networked City

This event has passed

We invited Einar Sneve Martinussen and Jørn Knutsen to Grafill to talk about Immaterials, a research project on the invisible, networked layer of the city. Both are interaction designers and researchers at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design (AHO), where they had taught interaction design since 2007, and they run the Oslo studio Voy.

Over seven years, Immaterials examined the electromagnetic landscape of everyday networked life, using design, photography and film to make the technologies, materials and infrastructure behind digital culture visible. The project grew out of AHO and also involved Timo Arnall, together with Jack Schulze and Matt Jones, formerly of BERG.

The talk traced the history of the project through anecdotes, films and behind-the-scenes material from the research, and discussed why exposing so-called seamless technology matters for how interaction designers and the public can understand and critique it.
