No Interaction

We are a research group discussing and dealing with interaction issues. Paraphrasing BorisYellinikoff: “They’ve had to install automatic toilets in public restrooms because people can’t be entrusted to flush — they can’t even flush a toilet!” (“Whatever works”, Woody Allen, 2009). Well…yes. All fun aside, Woody´s phrase managed to provoke an interesting discussion about interaction and give birth to the “NoInteraction” Group. “The interactive interface”, “the reactive map” and how many other -tives coexist in our everyday phrases? Do we really realize all that? Is this something we are looking for or something that we really benefit from? Is there something that is not interactive? What is interaction for you? In contrast with Woody´s character, the idea is not to see human beings as persons impossible and incapable, but to consider the hypothesis that many times we simply don´t interact – whether this is due to non-will, non-disposition or thoughtlessness. NoInteraction Group tries to play with all these doubts and create a path to interact (here we go again…) with all these why’s. With love.
