Session Overview
10.00am – 10.40am Sensory Ethnography
& Bodystorming
Presentation
10.40am – 11.20am Group Work
Case Study
11.20am – 12.00pm Group Feedback Discussion
Group ideas …
• Piece of writing
• Body mapping
• How is it different to regular ethnography?
• Immersed in experience / culture / scenario
• Not thinking about yourself but thinking about your senses
• Self-ethnography
What do you already know about sensory ethnography?
What do you already know about bodystorming?
Group ideas …
• Like brainstorming but using the body
• Doing your design where the thing you’re designing for is going to be used
• Getting ideas about how your body responds to place and a particular idea
Pink
‘A sensory ethnography methodology aspires to […][explore] the sensory embodied experience and ways of knowing of both the researcher and research participants as they collaborate to bring [practices] into focus’ [p. 5]

Schleicher, Jones & Kachur
‘The goal of embodied storming is not just the instrumental formulation of better experience ideas in the context of their use, but we also aim to enact a tangible understanding of the entanglements and actions of human activity in possible future situations.’ [p. 47]

Part of a sensory ethnography
Part of a sensory ethnography
Photographs and field notes of …
tours of the buildings by members of staff on how they currently used and hoped to use space
my own journey to and from university to the centre
observations on how spaces were used for workshops
my own participation in workshops, social events, attending meetings and waiting
observations of technology use by staff, clients and volunteers
Learning from the process
relevance of place
technology as part of sensory environment, materials, acoustics, textures, food, smells
attentive to details, both in focus and on the periphery
contrast of performed ‘tours’, informal observation and own experience

Would these ideas work in new centre?
Learning from the process
• Preparation of materials and space needed
• Explore physical connections
• Many small steps and discussions needed within design team
• Documentation and communication was a challenge
Case Study
We are currently exploring the potential of music and sound based intergenerational digital sharing in public spaces. The purpose is to develop inspiration for experimental digital platforms to connect people within cities. We’d like to initially consider a number of local cafés as potential places for this approach.
2 groups – sensory ethnography
3 groups – bodystorming
When you come back …
In your groups spend 5 minutes consolidating your experience.
Think about theopportunities and challenges of
the approach you just used
Feedback / Discussion
Sensory ethnography can be useful because …
• Can highlight personal connections people have with place
• Encourages people to wander at their own pace
• Opens up exploratory lines of inquiry• Audio-visual documentation helps recollection
and acts as reminders • Requires rapport, responsivness, reflexive and
sometimes intimate engagement with people and place
Feedback / Discussion
Sensory ethnography can be challenging because …
• Lots of senses to think about• Documentation (photography, note-taking,
video) can feel intrusive• Can feel fake for participant if too guided by
ethnographer• Easier to do ordinary ethnography• If design brief is too closed, focusing on a
particular sense (such as sound) can be too restrictive in closing down exploration
Feedback / Discussion
Bodystorming can be useful because …
• Helps to work out technically how things might work in situ
• Helps to work through ideas without investing lots of time on development
• Creates quick feedback loops on ideas• Practical enactment on how people
might use a service / technology
Feedback / Discussion
Bodystorming can be challenging because …
• Can be difficult to find ways to get started• Difficult if not confident in acting / role play• Requires imaginative leaps and improvisation
which might need practice • Could be difficult to encourage partners /
participants to get involved• Documentation to communicate to partners is
difficult to do if engaged in trying things out• If actual place not available, can be difficult to
recreate right atmosphere• Focus on what is currently in place
