Typo Berlin : Play
Eleventh International Design Conference
Play will be the topic of Typo 2006.
Which means neither football, nor the design of toys.
Dates :
Thursday–Monday 18–20 May 2006
Venue :
House of World Cultures
John-Foster-Dulles-Allee 10
10557 Berlin
The Conference :
We will discuss the impact of elements of gaming on electronic communication. Play has long been considered a useless pastime. Emotion, associative thinking, intuition and subjective experience have not mattered much in the world of labour. The all-too human has been eliminated.
However, the computer and the internet have removed the split between work and play. Suddenly and once again, people must be capable of anticipating trends and grasping intuitive user guidance. Typo 2006 will focus on the combination of technology and emotion.
Come along and play!
