Two perspectives
on new media experiences
• CONTENT: Media critics and theorists
New media content as a departure from old media
content and genres. ‘New media’ as more than the use
of a computer for distribution and exhibition
(Manovich 2001). Convergence terms – remediation,
intermediality, transmediality,etc (e.g Bolter & Grusin
2000, Gane & Beer 2008)
• PLATFORM: Multimedia technologists and HCI
specialists
The computer as an interactive medium
(e.g. Oren in Laurel 1990). Multimodality and the design
space of interfaces (Frohlich 1992). Interaction design
as a cultural practice (Balsamo 2011, Murray 2012).

New media UX as a wholistic activity
• Need to co-design the content and platform together
for a particular user group and context
• Technology as experience (McCarthy & Wright 2006)
• Technology as medium (Murray 2012)

More questions
… for the conference
• Are these the right dimensions of new media design?
• How do you evaluate new media experiences to find the jackpots
or sweet spots? How do you measure what ‘works’?
• Which comes first in FRAME? Are some dimensions more
important than others? How does this connect to user-centred
design?
• How do you document the design explorations and resulting
knowledge? Are ‘annotated portfolios’ a potential method?
