This project arose from an EPSRC research network, Affective Communication in Design, led by Prof. Tom Childs of University of Leeds, with co-investigators from Leeds, Sheffield, York and Sheffield Hallam Universities. In that two-year project we explored affect in exhibitions and products, culminating with a conference that revealed a wide range of possibilities and positions. Some contributors focused on scientific approaches – for example affective engineering1 and studies of the brain.2 Social research investigated affect as an aspect of performance and experience3 and practice-led research approaches explored affect as the outcome of creative practices in design and film-making.4
