“…Drawing has been used as a research tool across many fields for understanding perception and mental models, particularly in education [45] and health [21,26,35]. Drawings have been used to study abstract phenomena such as celebrity [18], energy [5], and information [23]. While collecting children's perceptions of health, Pridmore and Lansdown [46] were among the first to test the efficacy of different combinations of drawing and writing prompts.…”

Are the many formal definitions and frameworks of privacy consistent with a layperson’s understanding of privacy? We explored this question and identified mental models and metaphors of privacy, conceptual tools that can be used to improve privacy tools, communication, and design for everyday users. Our investigation focused on a qualitative analysis of 366 drawings of privacy from laypeople, privacy experts, children, and adults. Illustrators all responded to the prompt “What does privacy mean to you?” We coded each image for content, identifying themes from established privacy frameworks and defining the visual and conceptual metaphors illustrators used to model privacy. We found that many non-expert drawings illustrated a strong divide between public and private physical spaces, while experts were more likely to draw nuanced data privacy spaces. Young children’s drawings focused on bedrooms, bathrooms, or cheating on schoolwork, and seldom addressed data privacy. The metaphors, themes, and symbols identified by these findings can be used for improving privacy communication, education, and design by inspiring and informing visual and conceptual strategies for reaching laypeople.

“…In an attempt to overcome this problem, scholars have engaged in collaborative, cooperative, and participant produced forms of inquiry (Godden, 2017;Guell and Ogilvie, 2015). In addition, researchers have addressed this problem through alternative, art-based approaches, combining research, art, and pedagogy (Hartel et al, 2018), and the (re)presentation of visual data as cultural practices of research and remembering (Hurdley, 2007(Hurdley, , 2010La Jevic and Springgay, 2008). Visual methods are considered as oriented toward an ethics of beingwith, which is entrenched in gestures of nonviolence (La Jevic and Springgay, 2008).…”

The Face in Visual Representations of Children

In this article, I take on the problem of the face in images and visual research on children. This is a problem that is engendered through the visual representations of children and the act of deploying the visualizing techniques associated with visual methods (pictures, video, etc.). It nevertheless is a problem, I argue, that has been couched singularly within a question of ethics in child studies, criminology, and sociology, among other disciplines. Here, I utilize the work of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari to challenge the unquestioned ethical commitment to the pixilation of children’s faces in publications. To trouble and reconceptualize the problem of visual representations of children, I assert that this problem is intimately connected to the cultural politics of childhood. For illustrative purposes, I analyze how children are represented in Today’s Child advertisements and Roman Vishniac’s Children of a Vanished World. This article concludes with a broader discussion of the (child’s) face, digital images, and (micro)politics.

“…Traditionally there have been research methods in social sciences, ethnography, cognitive anthropology, HCI, cognitive ergonomics and human factors, educational research, and other fields, which use different kinds of exploration, from formal analysis of mental models to informal clustering techniques. But there is the potential for more creative explorations, involving sketching [53,102], 'materializing' abstract concepts [71], developing new metaphors [73], or story completion [20]. These 'creative research methods' [62], or inventive methods [77,79] are emerging as new ways for Research through Design to be a form of critical enquiry relevant to other disciplines [e.g.…”

Our everyday technologies could have appeared terrifying to our ancestors: instantaneous disembodied communication, access to knowledge, objects with 'intelligence' that talk to us (and each other). Black boxes and intangible entities are omnipresent in our homes and lives without our necessarily understanding the hidden flows of data, unknown agendas, imaginary clouds, and mysterious rules that govern them. Have humanity's ways of relating to the unknown throughout history gone away, or have they perhaps transmuted into new forms?In an ongoing project, we have inventoried examples, encounters and reflections on contemporary technology, framed through the perspective of the haunted, spectral and otherworldly. In this paper, we excerpt this collection to illustrate the value and opportunity of an unfamiliar, disquieting perspective in helping to frame the frictions, beliefs and myths that are emerging around interactions with everyday technologies. We posit and demonstrate 'spooky technology' as an accessible framework to reflect and respond to our increasingly entangled relationships with technology.
