Mark Blythe is Professor of Interdisciplinary Design at Northumbria University.  He is a design ethnographer with a background in social science. He has tried to think of a way of saying this that doesn't sound pretentious but hasn't quite managed it. 

​

He has written a bunch of academic papers​ on Human Computer Interaction and there are PDFs of them here. He co-edited the 2018 books Funology 1 and 2 and also co-edited the MIT press book  Critical Theory and Interaction Design.  He co-authored a recent review of research fiction and has also written a book length design fiction which is available here. 

 

He has been improving his appearance with an app that has turned him into a manga character.  He hopes you like the pretty background colours but he is worried they are distracting, are you finding that, he wonders?
