Friction & Flow with Mushon Zer-Aviv
You are invited to join Mushon Zer-Aviv on Friday, September 23rd at 6:00pm at 370 Jay on the 4th floor for a talk on his new book, Friction and Flow - A Design Theory of Change.
The term "friction" is used daily by interaction designers as a disruption, a nuisance in the interaction flow. Therefore we mostly work to identify and eliminate the friction and to optimize the flow. It seems we've come to define progress in similar terms. We want everything to be: faster, simpler, cheaper, less emotionally demanding, more automatic, more predictable… frictionless. Ironically more optimization brings further complexity. In recent years, our bigger problems are often not due to too much friction, but due to not enough of it.
Mushon Zer-Aviv is a designer, researcher, educator and media activist based in Tel Aviv. His love/hate relationship with data informs his design work, art pieces, activism, research, teaching, workshops & city life. Mushon is currently writing a non-fiction book on Friction and Flow — a political design theory of change.
