Sustainable Interactions

IxDA put on a great panel event last night on Sustainable Interactions. ITP's Tom Igoe and Core77's Allan Chochinov stole the show, pushing some difficult concepts and posing difficult questions to the rest of the panel, and the community.

Highlights in bulleted form:

  • Sustainable design is stupid.
  • Design is political.
  • Interventions.
  • Sick Building Syndrome.
  • "Global warming is not trying to kill us... and that's a shame."
  • Keeping track. (a la Bruce Sterling's spime
  • Artifacts vs. Programmes.

Sustainability is (if not recognized directly) an issue within the field of interaction design - from physical to digital to behavioral.

I've got tons of thinking to do, and some potential projects to work out. All in all a good night.
