1. Information architectures become ecosystems
When different media and different contexts are tightly intertwined, no artifact can stand as a single isolated entity. Every single artifact becomes an element in a larger ecosystem. All these artifacts have multiple links or relationships with each other and have to be designed as part of one single seamless user experience process.
2. Users become intermediaries
Users are now contributing participants in these ecosystems and actively produce new content or remediate existing content by ways of mashups, commentary, or critique. The traditional distinction between authors and readers, or producers and consumers, becomes thin to the point of being useless and void of meaning.
All build new relationships and meanings by means of mashups, aggregators, and social networking tools, and all agents contribute content through the crowdsourcing leveraged by the Web via wikis, blogs, and other participatory tools, and mobile devices.
3. Static becomes dynamic
On one hand, these architectures aggregate and mashup content which physically may reside elsewhere and which might heave been released for completely different purposes. On the other hand, the active role played by intermediaries makes them perpetually unfinished, perpetually changing, and perpetually open to further refinement and manipulation.
4. Dynamic becomes hybrid
These new architectures embrace different domains (physical, digital, and hybrid), different types of entities (data, physical items, and people), and different media. As much as the boundaries separating producers and consumers grow thin, so do those between different media and genres. All experiences are crossmedia bridgeexperiences across a breadth of different environments.
5. Horizontal prevails over vertical
In these new architectures correlation between elements becomes the predominant characteristic, at the expenses of traditional topdown hierarchies. In open and everchanging architectures hierarchical models are difficult to maintain and support, as intermediaries push towards spontaneity, ephemeral or temporary structures of meaning, and constant change.
6. Product design becomes experience design
When every single artifact, be it content, product, or service, is a part of a larger ecosystem, focus shifts from how to design single items to how to design experiences spanning processes. Everyday shopping does not concern itself with the retail shop only, but configures an experience process which might start on traditional media with a television commercial or newspaper advertisement, might continue on the Web with a research for comments or for locating the nearest convenience store, might proceed to the shop to finalize a purchase, and finally returns to the Web for assistance, updates, customization, and networking with other people or devices.
7. Experiences become cross-media experiences
Experiences bridge multiple connected media and environments into ubiquitous ecologies. One single unitarian process where all parts contribute to the final, seamless user experience.
I am usually not a manifesto person, I have at least been critical of the prominence of the communist manifesto, the constructivist manifesto, the futurist manifest, the situationist manifesto, etc, etc but the 7 premises established in the Pervasive Information Architecture Book seem to rub against the ideas of creating hybrid experiences that extend and engage the existing ecology’s of book and screen culture. I am hoping that my prototypes will start to hint at the extent of some of these premises within the creation of products and services in the face of ubiquitous computation.
