A Rage For / Against the Machine panel certainly provides a great conclusion after debating all day A.I. in research, creativity and UX design. #HCID2025 #ParadigmShift
Quite a day. It began with giving a first-time talk at one of my favourite conferences, which coincidentally overlapped with some of the themes of the opening keynote. The rest of #HCID2025 was great too. Ended with meeting Brian Eno and giving him my business card. Mad places, universities.
In yesterday’s session, Rick from GDS unpacked how #contentdesign, #IA & #UI intersect, & why structure matters as much as surface: Content is infrastructure. Design from the inside out. Model small. Stay flexible. Cookies, not snowflakes. #GOVUK #DesignSystems #HCID2025 #EduSky #RikWilliams
Thank you to all our keynote speakers, presenters, room hosts, volunteers, participants, organisers, students, everyone for a truly wonderful #HCID2025! We'll share other photos etc. later on LinkedIn. Cheers all! (See some of you again @comicsandai.org on 4th September!)
#HCID2025 Attendees! Head along to the accessibility session this afternoon to see the excellent Amy Hanschell sharing lessons for designing accessible #Alexa interactions for users with #aphasia from our @hcid.city, @citystgeorgeslcs.bsky.social and Dundee Uni collab. #AphasiaAwarenessMonth

Sampson urges a rethink of #UX in public services: less about optimisation, more about liberation. Current models centre ideal users, sidelining others. Time to design for complexity, cooperation, & shared experience not just efficiency. #LiberatoryDesign #HCID2025 #TonySampson #DesignJustice
Hassler urges designers to break out of the “ivory tower” & learn from fields like architecture, journalism, & craft. To move beyond traditional design thinking & collaborate across disciplines to tackle complex, real-world challenges. #DesignThinking #Interdisciplinary #HCID2025 #ChristophHassler
Great to have the opportunity to listen to the great @dompates.bsky.social on 'Batlling monsters for credit'- setting interdisciplinary higher education in historical and sociopolitical context hcidopenday.co.uk/speakers/dom... #HCID2025
The Design/Practice 12pm session: Designing for the Paradigm Shift: Building Tools for a Creative Future by Lili Eva Bartha at ELG11 will now be at 2pm (straight after lunch). #HCID2025
Don't forget to take a look at the student work (desig justice zines!) table in the main foyer #HCID2025
Back to @citystgeorgesucu.bsky.social this morning for the #HCID conference. Last week’s Digital Transformation event was insightful and glad to have been invited to attend today’s event! Thank you 🙂 @stuartscott.bsky.social #HCID2025 #ParadigmShift
When you’re listening to a keynote and realising that your own later talk actually covers some very similar ground… #HCID2025 #ParadigmShift
Really enjoying how Christoph is setting the present in historical context, and therefore offering a critical history of design systems where the acknowledgement of the polycrisis (pandemics! climate change! economic crisis! capitalist collpase!) is crucial. Essential food for thought #HCID2025
