This is Not a Paper: Applying a Design Research lens to video conferencing, publication formats, eggs… and other things.

ABSTRACTThis is like an abstract to a paper, but it is more abstract. In fact, it is the introduction to something which is a not paper. The global Covid-19 pandemic of 2020 represented an inflection point for our post-post-modern world, a moment where our old normal was dramatically arrested. We are now in a state of comprehensive flux as ‘new normals’ emerge, begin to solidify, and may evolve into an—as yet undetermined—futures. This not paper is a facet and exploration of that flux as it relates to publication and conference culture, video conferencing systems, and how we both conduct, and share, research. You should read the whole of this abstract, but then you should take a step inside the not paper, it lives on the web over here https://designresearch.works/thisisnotapaper/
