Green Interfaces

Experience and interaction designs for sustainability

Visualizing Sustainability Panel at SXSWi

Today at SXSW Interactive, Jon Lebkowsky moderated a great panel called Visualizing Sustainability. I’ll write something up about this panel in the next few days, but meanwhile, here (29 Mb .mp3) is an OK-quality recording made with my laptop. I expect a recording of better quality will become available at some point.

How can we visualize the city of the future and create more interactive steps that lead to sustainability? How can we use technical simulations and games to build understanding of the resource-balanced world? What’s the connection between an emerging Global Sustainable Society and video games?

With Jon Lebkowsky (Social Web Strategies), Dawn Danby (Aylanto), Jamais Cascio (Open the Future), Joel Greenberg (podaddies.com), Pliny Fisk (CMPBS)

I didn’t get recordings of a few other insightful sessions I attended today, “10 Ways to Green-ify Your Digital Life” and “Green Software. Really?” and “Can Enterprise Save the World?” They all gave me much to chew on, and I’ll have a go at distilling it all soon.

About

This blog addresses sustainability in design, especially in experience and interaction design. Ideas, tools, and applications with an eye towards sustainable living are multiplying. I found that I was gathering a sizable cache of resources by my own research, and I hope that by sharing it I can inspire others.
