Organizer:
James Box, Clearleft Ltd.
Description:
Rhythm is pervasive. Binding music, shaping our daily routine, fusing us as a collective. Whether it knits or disrupts an experience, look hard and you'll find rhythm lurking at its core. This talk will examine rhythm, its role in design and seek to demonstrate that, despite it's omnipresence, rhythm is a concept which is too often ignored.
Questions
Answered:
  1. Rhythm is univerally understood (or misunderstood) but is rarely considered. Why?
  2. How does rhythm manifest itself within digital design?
  3. What benefits, if any, does rhythm bring to experience?
  4. Can we, or indeed should we, design rhythmical experiences?
  5. How can we involve rhythm with our design process?
  6. Is rhythm quantifiable or measureable within experience design?
  7. What are the origins of rhythm? Do we learn it or earn it?
  8. Is rhythm really a dancer, a soul's companion and can you feel it everywhere?
