Stigmata begegnen uns in allen Bereichen unseres Alltags. Sie stecken Menschen oder ganze Gruppen in thematische Schubladen, die mit Erwartungen und Vorurteilen belegt sind. Auch Gestaltung kann bewusst oder unbewusst Stigmata adressieren, verstärken oder ihnen entgegenwirken. Doch wo und wie steht Gestaltung im Bezug zu Stigmata? Wie lässt sich dies objektiv unter die Lupe nehmen und Gefahren einer stigmatisierenden Gestaltung umgehen? In dieser Basics-Folge betrachten wir das Phänomen Stigma im Kontext der Gestaltung genauer. Wir richten unseren Blick auf Negativbeispiele wie auch Ansätze, wie Gestaltung Stigmata abbauen, z.B. negative Aufladungen durch gezielte Inszenierung umkehren kann. Dabei nehmen wir direkten Bezug auf Literatur und Forschung, die sich diesem Thema widmet.   Relevante Links und weiterführende Informationen hierzu sind: Pullin, Graham (2009): Design meets disability.

Today's ‘90s Beauty Moment is all about one of my favourite fashion designers, ever. Whenever I think about Alexander McQueen's work I can't help but get emotional. He was a designer who could find beauty in the darkest moments, and his No.13 show was full of light and dark. The show is very well-known, mostly because of the finale, which sees model Shalom Harlow wearing a dress that's being spray painted by two robots. But for me, there's an even more impactful moment; the first time we see a model, who happens to be Paralympic athlete Aimee Mullins, wearing prosthetic legs on the catwalk.

Aimee Mullins is a true polymath. Her passions and professional pursuits are as varied and boundless as the awards and groundbreaking strides she's achieved within her many chosen fields. She broke new ground in athletics as the first amputee in history to compete against able-bodied athletes in the NCAA's Division 1 track and field events. She went on to set records in the 100 and 200 meter races and the long jump. Her poise and athleticism led to a career in fashion as a runway model for Alexander McQueen and as a global ambassador for L'Oreal. She then added acting to her portfolio with roles in wildly varied projects ranging from artist Matthew Barney's Cremaster series to Netflix's Stranger Things. Through it all, Aimee has continued to make sense of the many trails she's blazed in a series of influential TED talks that have been viewed by millions and translated into 42 languages.  It was her paradigm-shifting talk on the “opportunity of adversity” that offered a veritable proof of concept for the ideas we're exploring in this season of Change Lab. Her powerful argument for the creative leaps that result only from the hurdles we face resonated deeply with the idea that the human imagination feeds on challenge and uncertainty – a familiar concept to regular listeners of this podcast.  Aimee contends that we meet and exceed our goals because of—not despite—each obstacle we encounter. An insight she's earned the hard way navigating the world as a double amputee. Her insistence that “good enough” isn't good enough has led to advances in prosthetic design that would never exist without her. In fact, Aimee contends that disability itself is a misnomer better attributed to a broken piece of machinery than a human being whose differences are the source of their strength. We all have much to learn from Aimee's self-determination, curiosity and wonder. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

She was born with a medical condition that resulted in the amputation of both of her lower legs when she was one year old. She was told that she would use a wheelchair for the rest of her life but by the age of two she was walking with prosthetics. She went on to be the first amputee to compete against able bodied athletes in the National Collegiate Athletic Association events. She competed in the Paralympics. She has modeled on the catwalk for Alexander McQueen. She has starred as an actress in many tv shows and movies. Aimee is a motivational speaker and has given multiple TED talks.  Aimee Mullins The Wicked Pigeon Ladies in the Garden by Mary Chase, 1968 Le Morte d'Arthur by Sir Thomas Mallory, 1485 The Second Circle by Patsy Rodenburg, 2008 CivilWarLand in Bad Decline by George Saunders, 1996 Liar's Club by Mary Karr, 1995 Learn more about your ad choices.

This podcast is about big ideas on how technology is making life better for people with vision loss. Today's big idea is all about the cutting edge advancements in ocular bionic prosthetics. The Argus II is a device that uses a camera and a chip to stimulate the retina and send signals to the brain. Our guest, Dr. Mark Humayun, developer of the Argus II, speaks with Dr. Roberts about the development of this device, and the importance of the collaboration between developers and early adopters. He talks about the engineering, neurophysiology, and surgical challenges they've overcome to get to where they are, as well as what kind of advancements might be possible in the future.   The Big Takeaways: The Argus II is a device with two components: a wearable component that consists of glasses with a camera and video processing unit and an implanted device that includes an antenna and an electronic chip that sends electrodes to stimulate the remaining cells of the retina. The visual system is similar to a computer in that it requires hardware (our eyes, retina, optic nerve, visual cortex) and software (converts signals to what we describe as sight). When developing artificial vision, Dr. Humayun had to pinpoint how much of the retina needed to be replaced, as well as how much of the retina needed to still exist for the device to work. The electronic system stimulates groups of neurons into visual perceptions. Users of the Argus II can currently perceive up to 10 shades of gray. Dr. Humayun and his team are working on getting the device to generate color vision by stimulating the retina at different frequencies, which the wearer learns to associate with a named color. The cochlear implant was a big influence on the initial development of Argus II — they reconfigured a cochlear implant and used it to stimulate the retina rather than the cochlea. As they reconfigure and continue to develop the device, the collaboration between actual users and developers is crucial. Now that they have the hardware and technology, they can focus on future developments like an implant that bypasses the optic nerve and sends electrodes directly to the visual cortex.   Tweetables: “I've been so lucky my whole adult life to have that collaborative experience with everyone who's ever built legs for me.” — Aimee Mullins, actor, athlete, public speaker, and double amputee “The most emotional thing for me was being able to see letters again. That was such an emotional experience, I don't know how to put it into words.” — Barbara Campbell, Argus II implant recipient “You can think of it like this, that it wirelessly connects the blind person to a camera, and jumpstarts the otherwise blind eye and sends the information to the brain.” — Dr. Mark Humayun “There are some features that are different than our human eye, there are some advantages, but clearly our human eye is incredibly, exquisitely engineered to give you a very pristine, refined, and high-resolution image.” — Dr. Mark Humayun   Contact Us: Contact us at podcasts@lighthouseguild.org with your innovative new technology ideas for people with vision loss.   Pertinent Links: Lighthouse Guild Argus II   Guest Bio: Dr. Mark Humayun Mark S. Humayun, MD, PhD, is Director, USC Ginsburg Institute for Biomedical Therapeutics and Co-Director, USC Roski Eye Institute. Dr. Humayan received his Bachelor of Science degree from Georgetown University in 1984, his Master's Doctorate from Duke University in 1989, and his PhD from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill in 1994. He completed his ophthalmology residency at Duke Eye Center and fellowships in both vitreoretinal and retinovascular surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He stayed on as faculty at Johns Hopkins where he rose to the rank of associate professor before moving to USC in 2001. Dr. Humayun has devoted much of his career to clinical and scientific research in ophthalmology and bioengineering, becoming both a biomedical engineer and professor of ophthalmology. Dr. Humayun led a talented and diverse team of interdisciplinary researchers with the ultimate goal of creating the world's first artificial retina. He assembled a team of world experts with a wide range of proficiency, including biomedical engineering, computer science, medicine, chemistry, biology, and business. In clinical trials since 2007 and approved by the FDA in 2013, the Argus II retinal implant, represents the culmination of a visual restoration strategy that offers an unprecedented degree of sight to those with complete retinal blindness. He was elected to the prestigious National Academy of Medicine (NAM) and National Academy of Engineering (NAE) for his pioneering work to restore sight. With over 200 publications and more than 100 patents and patent applications, Dr. Humayun has received several research awards, which include the 2005 Innovator of the Year award. He was also featured as one of the top 10 inventors in Time Magazine in 2013, voted as one of the Best Doctors in America for three years, and one of the top 1% of Doctors by U.S. News & World Report. In 2016, Dr. Humayun received the National Medal of Technology and Innovation from President Barack Obama for his innovative work and development of the Argus II. Host Bio: Dr. Calvin W.
