Kurzfassung englisch:
This paper outlines the design process of the project "Seven Mile Boots", a wearable art
piece. Using the Seven Mile Boots, a user can travel seven miles in one step and
traverse virtual social spaces of communication. The piece was often perceived as
product design because it draws from the experience with everyday objects: boots.
By giving an overview on our three main design instruments - Guiding metaphors,
prototypes and experiments - we hope to shed light on some aspects of design. Guiding
metaphors are important in order to communicate and develop ideas in groups.
Prototypes allow for testing a design with an audience in an experiment. The focus of
this paper is on the interplay between art, design and technology in the production
process.
