messages haveno medium

interfaces andInteractions differ

activities and artifacts merge into complex experiences

experiences travelacross channels

“customers interactwith the brand: they don't

care about the channel”Jess McMullin & Samantha Starmer

we struggle formeaning and closure

information architectureis the sense-making layer

INTERFACES

TOUCH-POINTS

INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE

The Matrix

how can we design these pervasive information

architectures?

The Name of the Rose, J.J. Annaud

The Name of the Rose, U. Eco

cognitive continuityis not interface continuity

we say navigate, butwe really mean understand

a manifesto

information architectures become ecosystems

no artifact stands isolatedall artifacts are connected in one

single user experience

users becomeintermediaries

participants in these ecosystemsactively produce and re-mediate

content and meaning

static becomesdynamic

ecologies are perpetually unfinished,always changing, always open

to further refinement and manipulation

dynamicbecomes hybrid

the boundaries separatingmedia, channels and genres get thinner

horizontalprevails over vertical

intermediaries push for spontaneity,ephemeral structures of meaning

and constant change

productsbecome experiences

focus shifts from how to designsingle items to how to design

experiences spanning processes

experiences becomecross-channel experiences

experiences bridge multipleconnected media, devices and environments

into seamless ubiquitous ecologies
