“If a physician is someone who practices medicine, perhaps a metaphysician ought be someone who practices ontology. Just
as one would likely not trust a doctor who had only read and written journal articles about medicine to explain the particular
curiosities of one’s body, so one ought not trust a metaphysician who had only read and written books about the
nature of the universe.” Ian Bogost
Conclusions• What are we saying?
• HCD methods are problematic for IoT constellations.
• OOO provides an alternative framing.
• Design Fiction provides a way of exploring the potential of that framing.
• What we are not saying?
• That HCD is not a useful framing.
• That we are proving the philosophy behind OOO.
