Alan Munro (Strathclyde University).

Dr. Alan Munro is a research fellow in the Department of Computing

and Information Science, Strathclyde University. He obtained his PhD in Psychology in 1996 (though no longer really thinks of himself as a psychologist). Since then he has worked as a researcher in at the Universities of Dundee, Oxford, and Napier University in the UK , and the University of Jyväskylä in Finland. He has worked on a number of European projects including i3 Persona and Flex as well as consulting for i3 project Campiello. He has over 20 other publications and technical reports in the area of computer supported collaborative work and human-computer interaction and

Interaction Design, including the books Social Navigation of

Information Space (1999, Springer, London) and Collaborative Virtual

Environments (in press, Springer, London). Recently he has been working on the Disappearing Computer project GLOSS and has lead ateliers at the Interactive Institute, Ivrea, Italy for the i3 Summer

School on Interaction Design. His recent focus of research is the use of ethnographic methods to inspire development of systems and services for Ubiquitous Computing. He is not sure what discipline he actually belongs to- but is sure it is somewhere between sociology, anthropology, computer science and some new, as yet unnamed, field.





Fiona Raby (Dunn+Raby, RCA)

Fiona Raby's work has been extensively presented at several design conferences (she has been an invited speaker in Doors of Perception, DIS, e.t.c.), and has received several acknowledgements by design researchers worldwide. Her main interest is in explorative, ambiguous, quietly suggestive interfaces, and the reactions that these evoke to people. Fiona Raby will give two invited lectures in the department of Syros, presenting some of her work and projects.



Brief CV:


Fiona Raby is a partner in the design practice Dunne & Raby and leads a teaching unit in the Architecture department at the RCA, London. She jointly ran the Critical Design Unit with industrial designer Anthony Dunne in CRDResearch at the RCA, London, where she was one of the founding members and a senior research fellow.
Projects from the Critical Design Unit include:

  • Hertzian Tales, essays and design proposals exploring conceptual design;

  • Weeds, Aliens and Other Stories, a collection of psychological furniture for the home and garden;

  • Flirt, an EU-funded research project investigating location-based services for mobile phones; and most recently,

  • Placebo, a collection of electronic objects which explore mental well-being in relation to domestic electromagnetic fields.

  • Their recent book: Design Noir: The Secret Life of Electronic Objects, was published by August/Birkhauser in 2001.







Design Noir
Beneath the glossy surface of official design lurks a strange world driven by human needs, where electronic objects co-star in a noir thriller. Œdesign Noir¹ is a guidebook to an invisible but very real landscape, shaped by electromagnetic forces we do not usually acknowledge and can hardly sense.

Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby explore the way we interact with electronic objects, our environment and other people. They are designers who develop ideas for products that make our lives richer, if not necessarily more comfortable. Most electronic products are bland and predictable, designed for mass-appeal ­ this book makes the case for different experiences and genres, for environments and products that can be disturbing, subversive, funny and poetic.
