Collective Intelligence in the creative processJust like no man is an island no product can
be created be one person. Based on a thorough design research and
a shared knowledge of the current situation, a process that engages
the collective intelligence of the entire developmental team as well
as its closest neighbors is needed to reach the best possible solution. |

The Social ProductWhen is a product deeply meaningful to its users and buyers? On the internet we currently see a spurring of social product and services that link and connect us in new ways and for new purposes. Or actually the purpose is ancient: As a social beast human beings have always had a desire to both stand out and be part of a social context at the same time. How do we as designers develop product that can fit this desire and how can we develop platforms that enable new social patterns to emerge and possibly novel social actions to impact the world. |

Martin hired by 3Part
I am now working at 3Part as interaction designer. It turned out to be too difficult to start MVL as a design consultancy, so instead I am joining the team at 3Part A/S, a product design consultancy in Århus, Denmark.

Reboot and Collective intelligence
I attend Reboot 9.0 in Copenhagen last week. Here I gave a talk with George Por and with the help of Yann Mauchamp. We were pushing the idea of collective intelligence as a perspective in the current web 2.0 hyper-drive.
The audience response was very good even if we got the last slot at the last day. George, Yann and I are currently working to make the presentation even better and planning to go to one of the next European conferences; LIFT, Picnnic, SHIFT etc.

A doctor of Social Design
Hey ho. I became a doctor of Design the other day. I have been so busy lately that I have forgotten to post about it in the news.
Yes, I am now Martin Ludvigsen, PhD - specialized in interaction design and "Designing for Social Interaction". I am still considering putting the dissertation online, but I am trying to get a publisher to look my way - can I do both?

Defending PhD dissertation
This coming Wednesday I am defending my PhD dissertation "Designing for Social Interaction" at the School of Architecture in Aarhus, DK. It is at 13 o'clock and it is open to the public.
The Dissertation is the culmination of three years of research-through-design exploring how designers can facilitate different forms of social interaction around and through technology. Furthermore the dissertation goes into describing how research-through-design is a valid format of scientific inquiry.

New website designed
A new website for MVL.dk is in the progress of development. This now has to shift from the current personal website to the professional front and knowledge base of a company. The company is still only myself until now, but it might grow and I need to separate the personal and PhD-student content form that of a professional consultancy.
However whatever takes place in MVL.dk is highly personal to me as the mission of creating Meaningful Visions for Life is impossible discern from my own mission. Becoming a commercial entity, however, requires a different way of presenting oneself.
