MA User Experience Design | Assoc. Prof Laura Forlano and Dr Dan Lockton: Materialising experience

Staff and students from MA User Experience Design host a series of online conversations with leading designers, academics and thinkers which discuss the radical design imaginary and its place in a dematerialising digital world.

This symposium brings together important global voices in a series of dialogues that explore the outer reaches of the discipline.

About MA User Experience Design

Taught at London College of Communication, UAL, MA User Experience Design is a postgraduate course that emphasises design approaches reflecting the entangled nature of human experience and the embodied relation between systems and objects.

We’re particularly concerned with the fragmented and transitory nature of digital materials, and how designers can organise technical systems towards socially oriented critical ends.

We seek to challenge the prevalence of ‘UX theatre’ (Snook, 2018) that is currently so widespread in design, with a call for contextual depth, material perception, and collaborative generosity.
