Making sense of sensemaking

Lately, I've been feeling all talked out and wanted to try something a bit different…

I'm a designer. Over the past decade this increasingly means that I do research with people who experience products and services that organisations put into the world. 

There's so much going on in this practise that's worth focusing on. From how we find and select research participants, to how we obtain consent to use data about them, and how we make sense of all that data once we've collected it (and more). 

So. I'm wanting to try something a little different, and that's where you come in…

Instead of a didactic presentation, or a participatory workshop, I'm performing a sound piece at the SDNOW4 conference in Melbourne next month, and I'm hoping that you'll join in by participating in the research data collection that will generate the performance.

I'm drawing on a previous career for this, one where I regularly composed and performed sound-based pieces. Possibly art… maybe music. Definitely experiences for interpretation. Which is the effect I'm after here.

Rather than describe it all here, please head on over to the link below and have a read. It should take about 5 minutes.

Thanks in advance ??,
