The 2015 paper “A case for intergenerational distributed co-design: the online kidsteam example” section 5.1.6 omitted re-citing “DisCo: A Co-Design Online Tool for Asynchronous Distributed Child and Adult Design Partners”. Both are based on my dissertation work.
What is Art? and Renaissance Painters were Just Web Designers
I have come to believe that art is a patina on deliberate, creative craft. Not all art begins as art and works that are intended to be art may not turn out as such. I also believe that craft becomes art within and outside of the context of the artifact; in order to understand the artifact, it is important to understand its context.
I was fascinated by Baxandall’s (1972) chapter “Conditions of trade” for two reasons: the early Renaissance artists’ almost mundane experiences with contracts and deliverables, and the relationship of patrons to artists (I am using the word “artists”, but my interpretation of the reading is they were more like higher-end, celebrity craftspeople in their time). I had not really thought of Renaissance painters as working for hire in the same way that a Web developer or graphic designer might work today. As someone who has been hired and hired others, the idea that the clients regularly provided the higher end items, such as the gold leaf and the ultramarine, was completely foreign to me. In fact, the idea of the artist not having complete control of the artifact from concept to execution but having to rectify the client’s ideas with innovative techniques, is the first reason why I think art is a patina on creative craftsmanship.

@Acuity_Design Co-design facilitation requires a skill set that most don’t understand. It’s a balance of empowerment, freedom, and structure that seeks to answer and ask questions.
