Critical Design :: Restoring a Sense of Wonder to Interaction Design - Presented at Interaction12, Dublin, Ireland - 4 Feb, 2012
06/02/2012 4 Feb, 2012 :: Dublin, Ireland

In response, Critical Design is emerging as a new strategy for exploring the space that lies tantalisingly beyond the current and the now.
