Reimagining cinema: searching for an aesthetic of interaction design through cinema

Abstract

In this paper, we will present new ways to make, design and experience cinema. We will argue that design, including the new methodologies used in interaction design, can be at the source of experiencing film and does also constitute a new aesthetic in design. While aesthetic in design is already well framed, it’s not the case in interaction design. Interaction requires time and presence (of human, object, …) to happen and therefore requires a different approach to aesthetic. Looking at cinema allows us to attempt a definition of an aesthetic of reimagination.
