A methodological journey examining a series of activist approaches to design research. The book is a methodological appendix for design research, discussing a number of intersecting and overlapping lines of artistic and academic research practices. Taking a hacktivist perspective, the methodology explores how action and participatory forms of research, interventions, interrogative practice and small change intensifications can shape new research agendas and applications. By using a "nomadic" practice and "diffractive" thinking the methods aim to create new possibilities and open wider action spaces for grounded design research with "rhizomatic" validity, all in an effort to redesign design.
