    Bruce Mau Head for Heights
    (2017) Hermansen, Pablo
    More than a biography, Bruce Mau deserves a log. He begins his journey when he leaves the Ontario College of Art and Design prematurely to work in the design studio Fifty Fingers, located in Toronto. His next stop, two years later, is Pentagram, at the other side of the Atlantic, in England (Smith, 2016; de Monchaux, 2007). In the United Kingdom of the 1980’s – postMalvinas/Falklands war and led by Margaret Thatcher –he was “actually introduced to the political life of the form (…) [and there he leared] how design and culture intertwine around language, equality and society” (de Monchaux, 2007). He returned from Europe aware of the social impact of design and of its power to transform the world: as he declares, from then on changing the world has become his project. Consequently, he assumes the challenge of designing not only to correctly contain and unfold a given information, but to produce models that materialize and expand all that they contain. With these goals in mind, he has dedicated over three decades to articulate actors, regions, disciplines and diverse knowledges.

    Performativity and Digitally Enhanced Dispute in the Public Space of Santiago de Chile: Photoetnography and analysis of the Gay Pride March
    (PALGRAVE, 2016) Hermansen, Pablo; Fernandez, Roberto
    Although in our daily lives we constantly produce and publish images as language, means of interaction and device of visualization, and that in the social sciences the visual data have an undeniable value of use - with almost two centuries of presence in the work of Field - in the networks of publication and exchange of knowledge has not been assigned a value of change according to its use. The text maintains a practical monopoly in the categorization and analysis of data, a currency of exchange required to participate in the academic debate. However, in investigating and describing commemorative marches in public space, such as the Gay Pride March in Santiago, it is impossible to account verbatim for the complex connotations of its performativity. With the aim of releasing its constitutive characteristics, we developed a photoetnographic analysis to approach a predominantly performance event, such as the Gay Pride March. These events call for research and publication procedures that demonstrate their visual richness as a mode of political expression.

    Prototyping coexistence: Design for interspecies futures
    (2020) Tironi, Martín; Hermansen, Pablo; CEDEUS (Chile)
    In order to coexist with other species, human beings must be able to overcome the perception of being the dominant species. This article portrays how facts refuted the initial - anthropocentric - hypothesis explaining the failure of an experiment with chimpanzees. This not only shows that it is wrong to ascribe human defects to other species, but also that we have a long way to go to understand more-than-human environments.
