Co-Designing to Separate Art from Content with input from Art Experts

The purpose of this repository is to contain all of the work done on a series of Co-Design workshops between researchers from the University of Oxford’s Department of Computer Science and Art Experts from various art world institutions. The workshops explored what differentiates ‘art’ from ‘content’ online. The research questions were motivated by a set of design values established during a pre-study series of interviews. The Study Materials Folder contain the scripts used by the researchers and blank sets of the activities that comprised the Co-Design Workshops. All of the work was conducted through an online whiteboard tool. The Workshop Outputs Folder contains all of the marked activities for each of the three co-design workshops and the ultimate set of screen designs made by the participants from each workshop. The Final Screens Folder contains a PDF showing medium-fidelity prototypes that were developed after the contributors cross-examined each others’ workshop outputs. These designs were taken further for a Stakeholder Review for another study. If there are any questions, please feel free to contact the first author (thomas.von.davier@cs.ox.ac.uk) for any questions regarding the study design and how it can be applied to other situations.
