Interaction Design as a Platform for Comedy

Interaction Design as a Platform for Comedy is a research-creation project that builds on an iterative exploration of the relationship between humour and human-computer interaction (HCI). Drawing from humour theory, observations on when and how humour emerges from the articulation of three key components: medium (content, images, UI elements), technology (interactive component, participant action and machine response) and participant reception are made. Taking the form of a series of interactive prototypes, design principles are subverted to create non-verbal computational humour situations.
