I’m a researcher and a designer and the co-founder of Selkie Design Agency. Since 2007, I’ve been involved in research, and since 2014 I’ve kept my focus on projects related to creating and developing digital products. I co-organise an international conference called World Usability Day Silesia (WUD Silesia). I’m a lecturer at postgraduate User Experience Design studies (SWPS University), E-Marketing (WSE / SWPS University). I pursue my scientific interests in the Laboratory of Personality (Psychology Institute of Psychology Polish Academy of Sciences). My passions lie in cyberpsychology, narrative psychology, personality psychology and social psychology. In research, I focus my attention on areas concerning processes of self-regulation among users of digital products.
Sessions
The workshop will focus on the impact of digital technologies on society in terms of the transition from a literate to a post-literate mindset introduced by Jacek Dukaj in "After Writing". The discussion will explore how this profound shift affects collaboration and knowledge co-creation. An immersion into Dukaj's vision will serve to understand the fast-changing conditions of collaborative knowledge production. Furthermore, during the workshop, we will attempt to identify crucial signals of changes in the context of knowledge co-creation. Together with participants, we will outline futures of Wikipedians’ open collaboration within possible post-literate conditions.
