This document contains references and literature related to interface design and meaning production in interfaces. It discusses semiotic and metaphorical approaches to interface design, including the use of metonymy and stylistic references. It also addresses topics like interface criticism, standards, materiality, remediation, genre, hybridity, and representations. The document provides examples and suggests analyzing case studies using Barr's taxonomy of interface metaphors and Bertelsen and Pold's approach to interface criticism.

11. Interfacekritik
• Bertelsen og Pold: “Criticism as an Approach to Interface Aesthetics”
• Humanistisk OG datalogisk (den skandinaviske skole) perspektiv
tirsdag den 29. september 2009
12. Stylistic references
• Analyze stylistic references in the interface (e.g. Mac OS vs. X11, renaissance
vs. baroque).
tirsdag den 29. september 2009
18. Materiality and remediation
• Consider the materiality of the interface (e.g. code, algorithms, pixels) and
discuss how it is used.
• Consider how the interface draws on the materiality of other media (e.g. text
pages, photography, cinematic language, control panels).
• Discuss immediacy and hypermediacy in the interface.
tirsdag den 29. september 2009
22. Genre
• Identify and consider various genres in the interface.
• [genre vs. stil]

23. Hybridity
• Discuss the interface as a hybrid between the functional (control interface)
and the cultural interface.
tirsdag den 29. september 2009
24. Representations
• Identify representational techniques and analyze how they work (e.g. realistic
and naturalistic representations vs.symbolic and allegorical representations).
tirsdag den 29. september 2009
25. Challenges to expectations & developmental
potentials
• Identify challenges to users expectations.
• Consider the developmental potentials. How is development in use
supported? How may the interface support the development of
unanticipated use?
