This paper briefly reviews recent interesting work in the field of sustainable organizations research, encompassing domains such as institutional theory, resource-based view, stakeholder theory, framing, and paradox theory. Drawing on these it develops a Multifocal framework for developing Intentionally Sustainable Organizations (ISO), which, inter alia, incorporates and applies new concepts such as balanced bifocal stakeholder management and paradox approach to organization design to this field. It makes the case that the Icehotel in Jukkasjarvi, Sweden, is an ISO and presents evidence that it manifests all aspects of the theorizing in this paper.

“…Mappings between various tastes have been shown in experimental findings from psychology. Bitterness has been widely associated with negative experience [16,17,28,32], whilst sweetness has related to broadly positive affective response [16,24,32,33]. The limitation of these studies has been they consider taste in an abstract lab-based context.…”

“…This has given birth to a new field of study in Multisensory HumanComputer Interactions. The importance of this field is reflected in the recent success of commercial haptic technologies as part of a 'Material Turn' in interactions design [24]. My work is aiming to build on this shift towards increasing tangibility, by exploring how gustatory and olfactory sensation can be exploited to offer new opportunities for interaction designers.…”

Food provides humans with some of the most universal and rich sensory experiences possible. For a long time technology was unable to recreate such experiences but now new innovations are changing that. Using the novel manufacturing technology of 3D printed food, I am developing 'Edible Interfaces'. My research uses a user-centered research approach to focus on food as material for interactive experience in HCI. This will lead to development of Edible Interfaces that are built on the understanding and application of the experiential affordances of food. Designing with food allows the creation of forms of experience not possible through traditional interfaces. My studies so far have explored the perceptions of 3D printed food and potentials for food to advance affective computing. This knowledge is broadening on-going work in the field of multisensory HCI and delivering a new perspective on how we design for experience.

“…The designers were considered facilit ators in this development process which included activities such as workshops with representatives for both employers and employees. As computers took on new shapes beyond simple calculators and factory robots, and became an increasingly common com ponent in society at large, a discussion concerning how to understand this new computational material emerged (Fernaeus and Sundström 2012, Jung et al 2010, Robles and Wiberg 2010Wiberg et al 2013). What is digital technology?…”

The aesthetic turn: exploring the religious dimensions of digital technology

Exploring the religious dimensions of digital technology T he arena for developing digital technology has undergone an aesthetic turn, broadening the focus from a functionalist approach producing centralized systems in the 1970s and 1980s to an increased awareness of the aesthetic aspects of the indi vidual user's interaction with technology in the 1990s and 2000s. Within the academic research fields studying digital technology (e.g. Human-Computer Inter action and Interaction Design) the aesthetic turn has resulted in a shift from a strong emphasis on user behaviour to an increased interest in aesthetic perspectives on the role of the designer, the design process, and the design material. Within these fields, aesthetics has often been interpreted as belonging to the realm of the individual; personal experiences such as pleasure, engagement, and emotions have been emphasized in both technology development and technology research. Aesthetics is not, however, only an individual phenomenon but also has relational and structural components that need to be acknowledged. Structural aspects of aesthetics condition the possibilities for individuals inter acting with digital technology. Thus, the tension between individual and relational aspects of aesthetics in digital technology also reflects a tension between freedom and limit ation; between change and permanence; between destabil izing and stabilizing forces.Such a broadened understanding of aesthetics offers a model of digital technology that roughly corresponds to Mark C. Taylor's definition of religion. Taylor argues that religion is constituted by, on the one hand, a figuring moment characterized by structural stability and universality, and, on the other hand, a disfiguring moment characterized by disruption, particularity, and change. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the aesthetic turn and Taylor's definition of religion to illustrate similarities between the two, suggesting possible religious dimensions of digital technology and how that can inform our understanding of people's interaction with digital technology.
