were involved in the artistic research project Witnessing You. Five minute presentations
inspire conversation to identify issues to be solved and possible sketches of design:
Mediated Negotiation Space, Room: H (lecture hall):
How do we negotiate in mediated space, where tacit and tactile knowledge is hard to
communicate? And how does the medium itself influence what can be communicated and
not? Can media be used in different ways to convey truth and trust? How can we design
listening in such a way that we arrive at a state if shared listening? What is the role of selfwitnessing for being able to engage?
Chair: Professor Catholijn Jonker, Interactive Intelligence Group Department of Intelligent
Systems TU Delft/ EIT ICT Labs

> On integrating rhythm and entrainment, by Dr. Satinder Gill, fellow with the Center for
Music and Science, Cambridge University
> On the media-auric effect, by Dr. Sjoukje ver der Meulen, independent scholar, media

> Making shared distributed spaces, Leif Handberg, Media Technology and Graphic Arts,
School of Computer Science, KTH/ EIT ICT Labs
> Shared Listening, by Merlijn Twaalfhoven, composer
> Witnessing Design, by Chin-Lien Chen & Chris Vermaas, designers
Mediated Courtroom, Room: B3.470 (small meeting room)
How can we imagine systems of justice in the network society? Can the court just be filmed
and broadcasted? When the presence of the judge is mediated, what happens to truth
finding and to the authority of its outcome? Can witnesses be remotely present? And if social
networks become part of truth finding, how do new standards for good behavior and justice
emerge? How are we witness to each other? How do new public-private spaces influence
how we trust?
Chair: Dr. Charlie Gullstrom, Presence Design, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Dept
Architecture / EIT ICT Labs

> Tele_Trust, by Hermen Maat, social technology artist
(continued) 22 November: Prototyping on the Mediated Sketching Table
Mediated Hospital, Room: A1.370 (Boardroom)
How can we connect with people who are in the hospital? How can children be comforted by
their families at home while staying they stay in a hospital bed? Can virtual friends and
virtual envroments help out? How can we enjoy and overcome different glass interfaces?
How can we coordinate, interact, and play to support each other to be well?
Chair: Dr. Tjerk de Greef, Interactive Intelligence Group Department of Intelligent Systems
TU Delft/ EIT ICT Labs

> Looking Glass, by Anna Carlgren, glass artist
Meta-Design for Reflection in Participatory Systems, Room: B1.300 (glass space)
Social networks and other networks build upon participation of their users. Mediting presence
not only needs to facilitate to connect to each other, but also needs to incorporate the
possibility to reflect and share reflections to influence next behaviour and next generations of
these systems as well. How can we identify and shape meta-design for participation that
allows for reflection? How can we design participatory systems in such a way that people can
accept responsibility and have the possibility to act and share reflections about how to act?
