IxD Bauhaus at Media Evolution in Malmö

Posted on August 28, 2011 by rahulsen79

I recently spoke at Media Evolution 2011 at Malmö in the beautiful southern parts of Sweden. My talk was loosely based around the theme: ‘Seeing the Future through User’s eyes’ and I presented my thoughts on the ‘IxD Bauhaus’, design evolution, Kevin Kelly’s ‘What Technology Wants’ and concepts related to object-envy, nostalgia during the design process etc.

The talks are available here. There is a well-documented Flickrstream here.

There were several really incredible presentations at the conference. My favorites were the keynote speeches by Paolla Antonelli and Amber Case, presentations by Luke Williams, Riyad Minty and several others.

Massive thanks at Media Evolution organizers, especially Martin Thörnkvist and Yasemin Arhaan Modeer for a fantastic conference. I had the honor of sharing the stage with some of the brightest minds around, learnt a lot about public speaking and also made some great friends. Thanks!

IxD Bauhaus at Microsoft Sweden

Posted on June 13, 2011 by rahulsen79

I spoke at Microsoft Sweden, a couple of days after returning from IxD Bauhaus in Seattle. My talk was to an audience consisting primarily of developers within the Microsoft community. I tried to infuse a presentation we did about Windows phone at Ergonomidesign with my talk in Seattle. The result is here for you to see.

Media Evolution and Me

Just wanted to preserve for posterity, the fact that I’ll be speaking at Media Evolution on August 24-25th with an awesome lineup of speakers.

Almost surreal to think I’d be on the same panel but I’m thanking my lucky stars and the angels that guard me.

My slides from the IxD Bauhaus in Seattle

Posted on June 3, 2011 by rahulsen79

I just returned from the IxD Bauhaus event for which I was invited as a speaker.

The event was an amazing experience with a crowd of about 200+ designers, developers, students and other creative minds from the Pacific Northwest all gathered together to discuss an important revolution. I was humbled that the seed for thought was planted by the article I wrote on Johnny Holland called ‘The IxD Bauhaus – What Happens Next?’. For this massive honor, I have Mike Kruzeniski (Windows Phone), Vicky Teinaki (Johnny Holland) and my colleagues at Ergonomidesign to thank.
