TONIGHT at OCAD: Fiona Raby

[Kaleem]

Hi Irregulars,

If you're able to attend this talk tonight at 6:00pm. I highly recommend it. 

Fiona Raby is a provocative designer, thinker, and academic. She is in Toronto giving a talk tonight, following her keynote last week at the SVA DCrit Conference in New York (she was also a keynote speaker at Interaction'09 in Vancouver). Raby's work will push your thinking about what you do as a UX designer and the broader implications of your own work.

Fiona Raby is a partner in the design partnership Dunne & Raby. Dunne & Raby use design as a medium to stimulate discussion and debate amongst designers, industry and the public about the social, cultural and ethical implications of existing and emerging technologies.

Their work has been exhibited at MOMA, the Pompidou Centre, and the Science Museum in London and is in the permanent collections of MOMA, V&A, FRAC and FNAC. They have published two books: Design Noir: The Secret Life of Electronic Objects (Princeton Architectural Press) and Hertzian Tales (MIT Press). A new book Speculative Everything; design, fiction and social dreaming, will be published by MIT Press in late 2013.
