De-signing Ambiguity

Petersen, Christian (2021) De-signing Ambiguity. In: UNSPECIFIED.

Abstract

This paper challenges the way ambiguity is made understandable in William W. Gaver, Jacob Beaver, and Steve Benford’s well known disambiguation of ambiguity Ambiguity as a Resource for Design. Rather than assuming ambiguity to be an epiphenomenal relation between designed artefacts and their users, which seems to be the argument they make, Christian and I instead find ambiguity to exist firstly, and at a higher intensity, in the primordial moments of design practices.
