The UX London Archives: 2011
In the run up to the 10th anniversary edition of UX London, we’re taking a look back through the archives with our creator and curator in chief, Mr Andy Budd.
UX London 2011
2011 was another great year for UX London, and the first to raise the similarities and differences between UX design and Service Design, a theme we’re still exploring today. Kate Rutter and Kim Goodwin both did amazing sessions, causing us to invite them back several times since. Although it was widely considered that Alan Cooper stole the show that year, my personal favourite talk was Matt Jones discussing, in part, the interaction design of Mary Poppins. This is the first time I’d really considered the idea that sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, and therefore seeing magic as a legitimate source of technological inspiration.
