Scope and content
Strange Design describes a tension between the speculative and the practical within design practice. It is also a phrase to describe the visual anomalies, or 'datanomaly', of future human-computer interface. The methodology of Strange Design, enlisting the visual and ideological potentialities of the Science Fiction genre in both literature and film, is an appeal for a more Situationist approach to interface design, a way to untether computer users from the object of the computer and engender a more direct relationship with the space of computing.
