Madeira Story Generator: Prospecting serendipitous storytelling in public spaces

Words in Freedom is a design project aimed at artists, activists, and others that draws from research on the manifesto to create a studio environment or 'Manifesto Machine'. Drawing primarily on the sub-disciplines of Design for Good and Critical Design, this project seeks to enhance conscious self-expression and empowerment while questioning "design's inbuilt optimism" [16] and the effects of automation on human agency.

“…Large-screen digital displays are quite common in public spaces such as subway stations, shopping malls, and airport terminals. As a result, the public has gradually lost their curiosity and attraction for such screen interactions [18]. Therefore, it is worth considering how to design public art to revive the public's interest and curiosity.…”

“…The HQ-I values(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14) were also above 0, which means that the installation basically met the requirements for the participants' hedonic quality. There were many high values in HQ-S(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21), indicating that the participants had higher demands for the content and interaction methods of the installation. The ATT values(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28) were all above average, indicating that the participants rated the installation positively in terms of its attractiveness.…”

Culture, as an intangible piece of heritage, is one of the priorities of sustainable conservation. With the rapid modernization of science and technology, traditional culture that is expressed in the form of sound is facing prominent problems related to inheritance and development. Thinking about how to integrate traditional culture into the daily life of the public is an important way of solving sustainability problems related to traditional culture. This study took Guqin culture as its research object, explored the possibility of using sound as an interactive medium, and considered how to present traditional culture to the public in public space to broaden the inheritance and development mode of Guqin culture. Therefore, this study proposes a public Sound Interaction Design Model oriented to sound and presents a public sound-interactive installation with different levels based on the model. The feasibility of the model is verified through an interactive design evaluation method, and the role of the model in sustainable cultural development is discussed.

We investigated data acquired from varied people engaging with urban kiosks in this study on search Behaviour in public settings. The data shows a diverse variety of user demographics, such as age, gender, and educational level. The research found that interaction durations varied, with an average of 16 minutes, suggesting the fluid nature of user involvement. Furthermore, the Search Behaviour Test findings revealed varying success rates for different search categories, with "News" queries attaining the greatest success rate of 85%. These results highlight the need of user-centric design and strategic content optimization in urban kiosk interfaces, therefore improving user experience and information retrieval efficacy in the developing environment of smart cities.
