Use the Difficulty through Schwierigkeit: Antiusability as Value-driven Design

Level 0, Open Space, Owen G. Glenn Building

In the style of a polemic discursive essay, Antiusability (also known as Schwierigkeit) is introduced as a radical design paradigm to reawaken dedicated awareness of the user-system interface through challenge. A philosophical work in flux, it is described as a kind of science (or logic) of difficulty with an underpinning that promotes the generic greater good in usability per se.
