Book Club: Shopping for Sharpies in Seattle

7/5/2018

0 Comments

 
The LibUX Chicago Book Club met on Tuesday, June 19 at the Skylark Bar to discuss the article "Shopping for Sharpies in Seattle: Mundane infrastructures of transnational design.” <https://doi.org/10.1145/1841853.1841860>

Here is a snippet from the abstract:

"We analyze some highly-valued tools and software, such as post-its, as infrastructures with both practical and symbolic functions. These infrastructures are made meaningful in the shared practices of a transnational but primarily Euro-American design community. Designers in India employ a number of strategies we call 'infrastructure work' to be able to participate as designers in this mold."

Many thanks to Robin Hofstetter and John Jung for convening the book club.
