Jon Back: In Pursuit of Play

Jon Back’s work has long centered around the playful side of life. In this talk Jon will present his approach to playful design explorations, using playfulness both as a critique and a constructive design approach. With a strong belief that it is important to care also for the frivolous, he will present a mix of design and research to build an understanding of why you should play more, not only in your private life but also at work! We will see practical examples from previous and current projects, including playground design, museum interactions, and citizen dialogues. And maybe you will also get a sneak-peek into some upcoming projects. Let's dare to be Serious about the Unserious!

Jon Back is a senior lecturer in Human Computer Interaction at Uppsala University. His research is centered around playful design explorations in the borderland between the physical and the digital, with a strong focus on value-based activity-design to create feelings and emotions. He has a broad background in computer programming, design, pedagogical communication and game design.
