- Plenary: Alien Technology - Tools of Digital Production
- Mark Swain
Disney Feature Animation
Digital production in filmmaking has exploded in the 90's. The newly converted
digital artists have a lavish set of 2D and 3D packages at their disposal in
today's multimedia software environments. These production tools enable them to
depict a wide range of expressions and special effects. The key to making these
tools not feel like alien technology is to accommodate the artist's workflow by
placing needed tools into the artist's hands and by providing interfaces that
conform to the artist. This talk will address the impact of user interface design
on digital production in the fast-paced entertainment industry.
Mark Swain has been working in digital production for over 8 years. His work has
appeared in dozens of national commercials, MTV's Liquid Television, feature
films, and the 1990 SIGGRAPH Film and Video Theater. Mark is currently a
Technical Director/Designer at Disney Feature Animation in Los Angeles.

- Plenary: Technological Humanism and Values-Driven Design
- Brenda Laurel
Founder and Vice President, Design
Purple Moon

The discipline of interface design is a shrinking subset of the domain of
human-computer interaction. Despite our best efforts, HCI is traditionally
understood as the art of slapping a friendly front-end on a functional fait
accompli. Our role as advocates for "users" has been expressed in the details of
the interface. But the growing pervasiveness of computers in human lives requires
us to extend the scope of our advocacy; to express our values in the broader
dimensions of form, structure and purpose.
In the Enlightenment, the philosophy of Humanism asserted that humans were
innately improvable through their own efforts. Blind progress is humanism's evil
twin. As our technologies become more profoundly formative of our future, we
steal a growing portion of responsibility for our destiny from nature. Our
ability to rely on nature to assert balance and wholeness appears to decline in
direct proportion to the technological strides we take.
We cannot simply depend upon "human nature" or "family values" or even "the free
market" to insure that the instrumentalities we develop will actually serve
humanity or any individual human. If we are to advocate for humans in our
technological world, how must our discipline grow? How can we do values-driven
work while remaining closely attuned to actual human lives, needs and desires?
The HCI community has the opportunity - and the responsibility - to make changes at
the level of popular culture which will have a profound effect on the role of
technology and the quality of human life.
Brenda Laurel is a 20-year entertainment software industry veteran who
masterminded the four-year gender, play and technology research initiative that
led to Purple Moon's creation. As Purple Moon Vice President, Design, Laurel
drives the product's conceptual and creative direction toward the company mission
to provide delightful and inspiring entertainment to girls ages 8-12. Laurel
co-founded Purple Moon after serving as a member of the research staff at
Interval Research Corporation, Purple Moon's parent company. Prior to Purple
Moon, Laurel's career spanned renowned work in virtual reality, human-computer
interface design and product development for companies such as Apple Computer,
Atari, Activision, Fujitsu Laboratories, Lucasfilm Games, Sony Pictures and
Paramount New Media.
Laurel began her career in 1977 as a computer game designer and programmer at
CyberVision. She holds a B.A. in Communication and an M.F.A. and Ph.D. in
theatre. She is editor of The Art of Human Computer Interface Design (1990) and
author of Computers as Theatre (1991).
