International Conference on Design and Emotion

From 2008's heady theme, "Dare to Desire," to 2010's "Blatantly Blues," what a depressing difference two years make. But this gathering of design researchers and practitioners is less a pity party over lost luxe and more a cross-disciplinary meditation on designing in a time of diminished resources. "It is celebrating the zeitgeist, the economic times," says Judith Gregory, one of the organizers. Live Chicago blues provides the perfect backdrop for talks on interactivity and emotion, whether gazing into the face of a robot or the screen of an iPad. -- MS
