'Virtual' Virus Sheds Light on Real-World Behavior

A recent outbreak of a "plague" in a popular online game has scientists considering how the virtual world may provide clues to what people would do in real-world pandemics. In the role-playing game World of Warcraft, a "corrupted blood" spell killed characters and affected players in unexpected ways.

@sylin this is a workshop??

Can’t quite tell what exactly they get up to
itsmisscs 05:30:32
It was a course and event, I believe. Really great content
sylin 08:21:02
K2 winter school. It's a weeklong event set to confront the boundary of design by having design futurists, design educators facilitate a workshop together with students, citizens, young designers ... and look at contemporary real social issues as their design challenges.
I think the workshop itself is interesting because it's not only teaching design thinking but also asking why design thinking didn't work in some fields/topics.
The talks they have in between were trying to explore the possible discipline change, paradigm shit in near future.

> We’re generally working on a timeline of 5–15 years from now, and always at multiple scales because without finding possibilities that are mutually beneficial to individuals and the larger publics they participate in, there’s no “civic” to speak of.

@sylin Do you have any detailed manuals for the vTaiwan and PO network projects? (right from how they were designed, all the way to outcomes)
dzn 23:45:26
if not, that will be super useful to put together
dzn 23:51:57
it will be useful for others to replicate your process and as core material which can be pieced away and used in many combinations
