This
book presents a novel framework for understanding and designing performative
experiences with digital technologies. It introduces readers to performance
theory and practice in the context of HCI and gives a practical and holistic
approach for understanding complex interactions with digital technologies at
the far end of third-wave HCI.
The
author presents a step-by-step explanation of the Performative Experience
Design methodology, along with a detailed case study of the design process as
it was applied to co-located digital photo sharing. Finally, the text offers
guidelines for design and a vision of how PED can contribute to an ethical,
critical, exploratory, and humane understanding of the ways that we engage
meaningfully with digital technology.
Researchers, students and practitioners working in this
important and evolving field will find this state-of-the-art book a valuable
