The Interaction Design Association (IxDA) has finalized the shortlist of entries in consideration for the 2012 Interaction Awards, and we’re proud to see Laura Boffi’s impressive co-design work with hospice staff, the dying and their relatives in her CIID final project Weaving Relationships. Through a rare ethnographic sensitivity to people in the difficult life situations surrounding death and loss, the project opens up a promising opportunity space of communicating emotions that are inherently difficult to handle. The particular artifacts are designed and displayed in the actual hospice setting.
