Description
Carl DiSalvo explores the relationship between design and politics in Adversarial Design. This book examines how technology design can challenge beliefs, values, and what is taken to be fact, using a practice called "adversarial design" that strives to question conventional approaches to political issues. DiSalvo analyzes projects that span art, computer science, engineering, and consumer products, including computational visualizations of networks of power and influence, therapy robots, and everyday objects embedded with microchips. He views these projects through the lens of agonism, a political theory that emphasizes contention as foundational to democracy. The book aims to provide design criticism with a new approach for thinking about the relationship between forms of political expression, computation as a medium, and the processes and products of design.
