A Special Issue on, "Distributed Creativity and Design"
Re-public, an online journal published
in
Greece, focuses on theoretical and practical innovations that might
renew
the field of democracy. The term “distributed creativity” is used to describe networked cultural production that allows for the creative interplay of geographically dispersed participants. Internet-based tools greatly contribute to our new understanding of design by providing novel platforms for communication, co-creation, and dissemination. The obsession with objects and individual designers-heroes is replaced with an enthusiasm for the process and the dynamics of social interaction.

Design + Cultures
Washington State University, Spokane, WA
Culture is a dynamic and multi-faceted term; Design is also a dynamic
and multi-faceted term. The Fifth Annual Design Research Conference will focus on the busy crossroads
in the geography of these two vast domains under the conference theme of
Design + Cultures. In parallel with the ever-expanding impact of (in
Herbert Simon's words) the design of the artificial upon cultural life,
the theme of Design + Cultures raises numerous questions and a wide
range of problems that can be addressed within a multidisciplinary
setting.
