Keynote for World IA Day, answering the question "When, Where and How does Understanding occur?" Specifically, this talk discussed (1) interactions (and embodiement) (2) how new technology is changing the "information environments" we design for, and (3) a bit about perceptions and cognition.

What if I told you that the image in fact depicts a number of dolphins? In fact it depicts both - it’s all a matter of how your brain interprets it. Kids, who are “inexperienced” tend to see the dolphins. Grownups tend to see the loving couple, Some grownups can’t even see the dolphins if they try really hard. It’s all about what the brain expects and knows. If you know how to see a certain pattern, you’re more likely to see that pattern.
