Aztec culture flourished in the highlands of central Mexico between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries, AD. As the last in a series of complex urban civilizations in Mesoamerica, the Aztecs adopted many traits and institutions from their predecessors such as the Maya and Teotihuacan. The Aztecs also devised many innovations, particularly in the realms of economics and politics. Aztec civilization was destroyed at its height by the invasion of Spanish conquerors under Hernando Cortés in 1519. The Aztec peoples, who spoke the Nahuatl language, survived and intermarried with the Spaniards; today there are still over one million speakers of Nahuatl in rural areas of central Mexico.

A Design Theory for Fast and Slow Thinking in Interactive Coding

Evan S. Raskob

This paper introduces a new theory and shared language to help users and designers of interactive programming (IP) systems, especially those aimed at producing “creative” multimedia outcomes such as generative sculpture, art, music, graphics, and livecoding performances, to better identify key programming activities and be more strategic about their application. The theory was inspired by two complementary modes of thinking, “fast” (intuition) versus “slow” (deliberation). It defines three key “activity clusters” called LiveCoding Performance, Experimental Interactive Programming, and Exploratory Interactive Programming using the Cognitive Dimensions of Notations as a language to discuss practice-based reflections and user studies of intuitive and deliberative activities in performances, structured experimentation and software development, and open-ended creative exploration. It interrogates the usability trade-offs between the three clusters during the design of LivePrinter, the author’s interactive 3D printing (I3DP) and performance system. This positions these activities within the author’s practice as an educator, sculptor, performer, and software developer who experiments, composes, and performs, leading to some guidelines for other “creative” IP developers.
