For authors employing creative / design methods at #chi2023 – curious how the 'rigor' score is interpreted by reviewers? What's 'rigourous' Design is very much up for debate, and I'd suggest quite different from other methods / approaches. Does it make it harder to do RtD at CHI?
@drmaxlwilson - are there stats showing how different committees weight significance / originality / rigor scores?
e.g. Does design have lots of high originality / low rigor papers? Does Social Justice / Critical Computing have lots of high significance papers? Does it matter?

Make an NFT unique by scanning a part of reality into the blockchain. 🦇
Did you know you can mint your very own, reality-enhanced NFT at #OxBAT2022 called "Token Gesture"!
@EdinburghUni is bringing their own exhibition to @OxBAT_conf!
And if you're really keen, here's a longer thread from earlier this year, explaining our motivations for undertaking this work!

For the past couple weeks, you may have spotted that @DesignInf we're running an interactive NFT minting experience, at our @InspaceG gallery called 'A Token Gesture'.

I wanted to do a little thread on why we're actually doing this research... (1/19) 🧵

For all the CA/Ethnomethods heads out there – wonderful culturally specific example of managers saying 'erm...'
Would love to see more of these with filler word compilations:
- Australians resignedly saying 'Look...'
- Politicians saying 'It's absolutely right..."

Wanted to add a huge thanks to @CODIfringe, @suziemo, @StandComedyClub and @pley_fair for making this #EdFringe2022 show happen. Grateful to all the friends, colleagues and punters that came along to watch – all very humbling.
Absolutely ticked off a teenage bucket list item!
Great show from @ElsdenChris this evening! His @CODIfringe show on cryptocurrency, NFTs and creative transactions raised *so* many interesting questions and discussions with the audience! Fantastic job! 👏
Final show tomorrow!!!
Bring your own snake oil 🐍🤑🐍
🎟 Tickets here 👇

So I've got a 'dangerous idea' again... do a @CODIfringe show about crypto and Web3 @edfringe! 😬
Can artists look beyond the hype, to find new creative transactions and currencies?

It's summer 2030, and #festforwardmag suggests it's time to reflect on dynamic pricing... When your ticket price is algorithmically generated, and based on the data you're willing to share with a platform, how do you know that price is fair? More at festforward.org...

There's lots of fascinating interviews on this podcast series – and very happy to be able to talk about a lot of work in @DesignInf over past decade using design to explore, critique and translate blockchain applications in real-world contexts 🤓
What's the role of #design as it relates to #blockchain? And how it can shed light on utilizing #decentralized technologies in tangible, safe, and ethical ways? That's the topic of our latest #podcast, featuring @EdinburghUni's @ElsdenChris. Listen now at: bit.ly/IEEEBlockchain-Episod…
