Matt Kenyon Featured: Adversarial Design

Matt Kenyon’s work is featured in the recently published book titled ​“Adversarial Design” by Carl DiSalvo (MIT Press) In Adversarial Design, Carl DiSalvo examines the ways that technology design can provoke and engage the political. He describes a practice, which he terms ​“adversarial design,” that uses the means and forms of design to challenge beliefs, values, and what is taken to be fact. It is not simply applying design to politics — attempting to improve governance, for example, by redesigning ballots and polling places; it is implicitly contestational and strives to question conventional approaches to political issues Chapter 4 titled Devices of Articulation: ​‘Ubiquitous Computing and Agonistic Collectives focuses on Kenyon’s work SPORE.
