Abstract

This essay furthers the understanding of design as ethical practice.
Based on a perspective on the relationship between humans and technology as a
material-discursive practice, an argument is developed in which the meaning and
matter of a technology is not perceived as the effect of use only. Matter and
meaning emerge in each iteration in the design process of a technology. A design
strategy is presented in which ethics becomes an integral part of the design
process.
