Sammanfattning
This thesis explores in what ways time can be used as a design material in
Interaction Design, and in what ways this shapes the aesthetic expression of the
resulting design artefacts. The role that time plays in a design can significantly
change its aesthetic expression, yet the topic has not received enough attention
in Interaction Design.
Five "temporal themes" are defined through a literature review and interviews
with practitioners from various creative fields. The temporal themes describe
ways in which time can used as a design material.
The process of using these themes as a thinking technique, for ideation and
design, is demonstrated through the creation of prototypes of experimental
drawing applications. The prototypes are then evaluated from an aesthetics
point of view to determine how the aesthetic expression is affected through the
use of time as a design material.
