Mediated Negotiation Space, Room: H (lecture hall)

Meta-Design for Reflection in Participatory Systems, Room: B1.300 (glass space)
Participants in the EIT ICT Labs research program, the special journal issue Witnessing Presence, and the artistic research Witnessing You give 5 minute presentations to inspire conversatoin and design.
MEDIATED NEGOTIATION SPACE, Room: H (lecture hall):
How do we negotiate in mediated space, where tacit and tactile knowledge is hard to communicate? And how does the medium itself influence what can be communicated and not? Can media be used in different ways to convey truth and trust? How can we design listening in such a way that we arrive at a state if shared listening? What is the role of self-witnessing for being able to engage?

MEDIATED COURTROOM, Room: B3.470 (small meeting room)
How can we imagine systems of justice in the network society? Can the court just be filmed and broadcasted? When the presence of the judge is mediated, what happens to truth finding and to the authority of its outcome? Can witnesses be remotely present? And if social networks become part of truth finding, how do new standards for good behavior and justice emerge? How are we witness to each other? How do new public-private spaces influence how we trust?

MEDIATED HOSPITAL, Room: A1.370 (Boardroom)
How can we connect with people who are in the hospital? How can children be comforted by their families at home while staying they stay in a hospital bed? Can virtual friends and virtual envroments help out? How can we enjoy and overcome different glass interfaces? How can we coordinate, interact, and play to support each other to be well?

META DESIGN FOR RELFECTION IN PARTICIPATORY SYSTEMS Room: B1.300 (glass space)
Social networks and other networks build upon participation of their users. Mediting presence not only needs to facilitate to connect to each other, but also needs to incorporate the possibility to reflect and share reflections to influence next behaviour and next generations of these systems as well. How can we identify and shape meta-design for participation that allows for reflection? How can we design participatory systems in such a way that people can accept responsibility and have the possibility to act and share reflections about how to act?
