providing a common user with access to views and doorways to discovery and deeper technical understanding is essential to user-centric design. that's how we move the ball foward in terms of baseline system-fluency, which necessarily deepens progress at the cutting edge. Furthermore the widened technical prowess means yAy! for creativity and less exploitable asymmetry for our almost-friendly techno-fascist cohorts.
Widening and deepening user involvement-- through portals, gateways, peepholes, and trap-doors-- into a labyrinth of techno-primitive toolmaking utopia.. hah
What might that look like? Who knows? I have been thinking about the variation of user-modes represented, perhaps, as masks, deepening and widening layers of involvement, according to need, habit, curiosity and play. The relation between the masks and the nature of the masks is still in geststion.
Here in SP (sao paulo), in the 13-story abandoned building we've transformed into an an artist residency and resource center, we're exploring the theme 'Ancestral/Astral' for an event set to take place in the middle of December. Ancest-ASTRAL-ity : The ideal state of discovering the essence of what makes us human, our roots, through exploratory perspectives of our shared heritage and created future.
What has interested me personally since hearing about postmarkertOS is humans and tools: the psychology of tool use, our relationship with TECHNOS. A major theme that has remained constant throughout our human story is our use of tools to influence our future.
How do we improve or make new tools? Usually with tools we've already built.
You have two fuzzily-distinct elements: tools and techniques.
But how would these design logix (like the boot-phase peephole you mentioned) materialize?
Ideally this would happen on a mobile device running linux (im most interested in developing world megacities).
Maybe start with easily malleable UI layers, that use modern web semantics (react × APIs).
Make a boot-phase people have some interaction layers thst stimulate the curious user to explore what is happening. There are a lot of ways to do it, and all of them are right.
If interested, u can find me in the postmarketOS matrix/freenode channel.
Sorry if this does not meet aesthetic requirements, im on mobile.
I am reminded that VLC have a drop down menu in their settings window that allows more and more options to be exposed. In a bit of whimsy their entry for exposing all options is "master of the universe" (or some such).
