Responding to the privations of the Depression, American corporations synthesized a group vision of a bright future enabled by high technology. This vision hardened into a mythology, then a set of clichés, and is now being revived by today's glamorous industries. Many of the utopian concepts that formed this vision were old ideas, appropriated by corporate America as its own -- thinking machines, the abolition of temporal and spatial limits, an end to routine housework, and the visual enhancement of everyday life and its tools -- and many of these ideas are still positioned as desirable today.
Accompanied by excerpts from rare advertising and industrial films, this program takes a critical look at mid-20th-century utopian promises and persuasions. The focus will be on the landscape and the tools of everyday life: automobiles, television sets, communications tools, kitchens and data processing equipment. Rick Prelinger owns and operates Prelinger Archives, holding over 33,000 ephemeral (advertising, industrial, educational, documentary and amateur) films and over 30,000 cans of unedited (raw) footage. He is a consultant to motion picture and television producers, archives and collections, and has furnished archival footage to thousands of productions in all media.
He is currently producing a series of CD-ROMs called Our Secret
Century featuring archival films, text, still images and other
material relating to the hidden history of the twentieth century.

Working in a Place That Isn't There: The New HCI of Tasks,
Work, and Technology
A funny thing has been happening to Reality. It seems to be
disappearing, gradually replaced by a growing virtuality.
Virtualization will have a large effect on the nature of future work
and HCI is central, since virtuality is by its nature
machine-mediated. I want to talk about the new sorts of work and
attempts to create interactive visual virtualities and understand how
they work.

Out From Behind the Glass and the Outside-In Squeeze
Most user interface work takes the GUI as a given, and then tries to
understand how to best work within those constraints. Relatively
little work is expended establishing or working from other starting
points. We argue in favour of the field pushing harder in this
direction. Through the use of examples and case studies, we
demonstrate that one way to accomplish this is to change the terminal
of the system, itself, and not just the look and feel that lies behind
the glass of the conventional CRT. The moral of our story is that the
only good computer is an invisible computer.
