Participatory Design Conference 2006

The 2006 Participatory Design Conference will take place in Trento, Italy, July 31 – August 5, 2006.

The conference theme “Expanding Boundaries in Design” focuses attention on the multiple contexts in which design takes place and on an expanding range of possible design outcomes, and on the opportunity to focus participatory design on broader domains, such as physical environments, organisational practices and IT-enabled services.

ParticipART is the novel art track of the Participatory Design Conference. It features an exhibition and discussion platform on participative and electronic art at the MART (Museum of Modern Art of Trento and Rovereto, Italy) from the 2nd to the 4th of August 2006. The organisers are inviting artists, musicians, game designers and performers to submit proposals of art works to be part of a public exhibition, performances, and discussions.

Deadline for submissions for both the main conference and ParticipArt is January 16, 2006.
