It covers artifacts and their contextual environment of interaction. It stands on the premise that dynamic interaction between human{--}artifacts and their contextual environment is essential. Its theoretical construct is based on Popper{'}s theory of objective knowledge. The paper suggests an approach for user {--} designer {--} artifact interaction that is able to support the design of everyday artifacts to be pleasurable to use. It emphasises that the activity and user-artifact interaction are the foci of the design.}, keywords = {activity, contextual environment, users, designers, interactivity, knowledge}, url = {https://eprints.qut.edu.au/1431/} }
