We invite you to join our Studio, Embodied Ideation, Toolkits, and Sketching, at the ACM International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction (TEI’25), March 4th in Bordeaux, France!
Movement-based design foregrounds the moving and sentient body, fostering holistic engagement with the surrounding physical, material, and sociospatial contexts. In this studio, we will explore tools that facilitate embodied thinking and the creative processes of designing with, through, and for the body. In particular, we will focus on: i) embodied ideation tools, kits, and technology probes to prompt ideation; ii) sketching and other documentation techniques to materialise ephemeral embodied action during ideation. We will bring tools and techniques to engage with both aspects, and we will invite participants to bring their own, which can be low or high-fidelity.
This hands-on studio will provide a space to collectively engage in embodied ideation and sketching; exploring, analysing, and engaging deeply with the available objects and methods. The studio will culminate in a rich set of visual material and an annotated portfolio, which will be shared with the broader community, fostering connections among designers interested in movement-based and tangible design.
The studio is organised by José Manuel Vega-Cebrián, Andreas Lindegren, Mafalda Gamboa, Ana Tajadura-Jiménez, Ylva Fernaeus and Elena Márquez Segura.
