The Convergence of Music, Technology, and Design with Haig Armen

26m · Design Everywhere · 21 Jan 10:00

When we think of creativity, it's natural to define it through the lens of the specific craft we directly relate to. I'm a designer and musician, both professionally and personally. And even though I associate myself with both, it has taken me a long time to embrace my music background as a tool in my design work. Our conversation today explores the convergence of music, technology, and design in process, methodology, and the creation of experimental musical instruments. It's part one of a discussion with Haig Armen - professor, designer, and musician living in Vancouver, British Columbia. For the last 10+ years, Haig has led the Interaction Design program at Emily Carr University of Art + Design. His research explores music technology design, focusing on new gestural interfaces, data sonification, and music visualization. His most recent efforts are in design-led entrepreneurship and creating new musical instruments using emerging technologies. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Designing a Design Community with Stephen P. Anderson

When we think of a designer’s toolkit, a vision of pens, pencils, markers, post-it’s, or software might come to mind. But there’s more to design than just putting pen to paper, or pixels on a screen. There are tools that help designers structure their thinking, create focus, or break free of their biases or constraints of their prior personal experience. These are the kinds of tools we’re going to talk about today. Well, not just the tools, but a community built around learning, experimenting, and sharing experiences with these tools. This is part two of my conversation with Stephen P. Anderson, creator of The Mighty Minds Club. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
