about

Eli Blevis is an Associate Professor of Informatics in the Human-Computer Interaction Design program of the School of Informatics and Computing at Indiana University, Bloomington. His primary area of research, and the one for which he is best known, is sustainable interaction design. This area of research and his core expertise are situated within the confluence of human computer interaction as it owes to the computing and cognitive sciences, and design as it owes to the reflection of design criticism and the practice of critical design. His research also engages design theory, digital photography, and studio-based learning.

Course Description for Spring 2010:
I590/I400/H400 Digital Imagery in Human-Computer Interaction Design (Creating Meaning in Interaction and Design)
We will look at the notion and use of still digital imagery as a material of interaction design, as information, social mechanisms, and technology, as well as techniques of digital image making and use. The class will be primarily studio-based--that is, participants will be asked to complete assigned projects and show their work in class for discussion and critique. Reading assignments will be selected from online sources. Photography experience is neither prerequisite nor exclusionary, as the course will primarily reflect on the nature and transformations of the artifacts of externalized visual memories that digital technologies have created and predict. A cell phone camera will do at minimum for the class assignments, but other options will be discussed in class and understanding the range of technologies associated with digital imagery will be within the scope of this class. Registration information is here (I590). Registration information is here (I400). Registration information is here (H400).
