SUMMARY:Pace Layers and Research Products
DESCRIPTION:David Chatting\, Northumbria University\nAbstract\nIn this talk I shall present a new layered model for designing computational research products\, showing how prototypes can deliberately encounter and manipulate different paces of change in the world\, to produce knowledge. These designs may function sustainably as inquiry-driven research products\, probing durational phenomena\, or as propositions seeking to integrate with\, and survive in\, a complex world over long or short periods. I shall discuss this through a variety of examples and an ongoing Research Through Design project\, Resound\, designed as an alternative techno-spiritual practice of remote chanting in a Buddhist community. \nbio\nDavid Chatting is an Innovation Fellow at Northumbria University in the UK. He is a designer and technologist\, with a career spanning over 30 years in industry and academia. His is a technically\, socially\, and historically engaged Research Through Design practice\, seeking to create knowledge through the reflective production of public design work – frequently exploring the impact of emerging technologies in everyday lives. \nDavid has a PhD in Design from Goldsmiths\, University of London (2023); an MA in Design Interactions from the Royal College of Art (2012); and a BSc in Computer Science from the University of Birmingham (2000). His recent work concerns the domestication of the Internet\, proposing some alternative\, practical ways to design technologies for the home. To these ends he takes some critical perspectives on current trends in the design of domestic technologies\, and of Internet of Things products in particular.

SUMMARY:Leveraging the power of emotion\, embodiment\, and imagination for more ethical\, sustainable futures
DESCRIPTION:Noura Howell\, University of Southern Denmark\nAbstract:\nSociety is urgently seeking more ethical\, sustainable futures. Howell’s research leverages emotion\, embodiment\, and imagination as powerful capabilities that designers can leverage to support more ethical\, sustainable alternatives around data and AI: (1) Design futuring with children to envision sustainable community futures\, (2) Embodied interactions for critically interrogating algorithmic systems\, (3) More-than-human embodied interactions. Howell will present a range of past projects around these themes and invite discussion about current projects from the audience and ideas for potential collaborations. \nBio:\nHowell is a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) design researcher and Associate Professor in the Centre for Software Technology at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) in Vejle. Howell’s research includes participatory imagining of more sustainable futures and building prototypes for embodied\, emotional sense-making with data. Prior to SDU\, Howell was an Assistant Professor in Digital Media at the Georgia Institute of Technology\, in the department of Digital Media. Howell’s research has been funded by a US National Science Foundation CAREER award and a Google TensorFlow Faculty Award\, among other sources. Howell completed her PhD at the School of Information at the University of California\, Berkeley\, where she was a member of the BioSENSE lab. Previously she worked as a human centered designer and engineer in Singapore\, Morocco\, and China\, and at the MIT Media Lab\, Intel Labs\, and Microsoft.

SUMMARY:Design Aesthetics after Machine Learning
DESCRIPTION:Jesse Benjamin\, TU Eindhoven\nAbstract:\nThe rapidly solidifying design conventions around generative ‘AI’ interfaces call for more in-depth designerly responses to the materiality of such systems. While machine learning (ML) systems’ seeming immateriality and obscure technical properties have been engaged by design researchers\, such engagements are largely ad hoc and lack cohesion into a larger movement of practice-led inquiry. In this talk\, I will outline a research trajectory combining exemplars of material investigations into a library of conceptual stances on and vectors for material practice with ML systems\, and align it with recent trends in adaptation of process philosophical framings in HCI design research. \nBio:\nJesse Josua Benjamin (he/him) is assistant professor “Design Aesthetics of Intelligent Adaptive Systems” at the department of Industrial Design of the Eindhoven University of Technology. With a graphic and interaction design as well as philosophy of technology background\, he interrogates the aesthetics of emerging technologies in a synthetic approach combining practice\, theory and philosophical analyses to generate conceptual vocabularies and design proposals.

SUMMARY:Digital Agroecology: Agri-Tech between Grassroots and Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:Sebastian Prost\, City St. George’s University of London\nAbstract:\nDigital technologies in agriculture are typically portrayed as enabling more sustainable production while increasing productivity. Yet\, commercial solutions rarely address the root causes of unsustainable farming\, preventing more radical solutions such as agroecology taking root. In this talk\, I will present findings from fieldwork with 11 small-scale agroecological farms investigating their adoption of digital technologies. Far from being anti-technological\, colleagues and I found instead that current digital tools poorly support farmers’ work with nature. Further\, the collaborative nature of agroecological farming\, market productivity pressures\, and regulatory requirements necessitate complex data practices for coordination\, planning\, monitoring\, and learning. These data practices require labour that is often hidden and causes tension within farms. Based on these insights\, I will present guiding principles for designing digital technologies appropriate for agroecology and suggest concrete design opportunities. More broadly\, I present a call to reimage digital agriculture beyond capitalism and work with existing farmer-led grassroots networks towards technological sovereignty. \n  \nBio:\nSebastian is a Lecturer at the Centre for HCI Design at City St George’s\, University of London\, working in the intersection of food and technology\, where they esplore responsible socio-digital innovations with local food networks and smallholder farms. They are interested in questions of sustainability\, social justice\, more-than-human design\, and building long-term community relationships through participatory design. \n \n(In cooperation with ITU’s Center for Climate IT)

SUMMARY:Temporal Infrastructures: Design Ethnographies of Delay\, Care\, and Institutional Life
DESCRIPTION:Catherine Wieczorek\, Georgia Institute of Technology\nAbstract\nThis talk explores time as a form of infrastructure\, something not only scheduled or measured but built\, sustained\, and contested through everyday institutional practice. Temporal patterns such as delays\, shifting priorities\, and overlapping demands are not simply dysfunctions to be resolved\, but are fundamental to how systems behave under conditions of ongoing uncertainty. Based on preliminary findings from design ethnographies at two U.S.-based sites (i.e.\, sexual healthcare delivery and public libraries)\, we consider how actors navigate time as a material and political force\, increasingly entangled with hybrid socio-technical systems. By studying how time is patterned and negotiated within institutions\, this research invites designers to consider how historical and organizational temporalities shape the conditions under which technical systems succeed\, fail\, or are re-interpreted in practice. \nBio\nCatherine Wieczorek (she/her) is a designer and researcher pursuing a PhD in Human-Centered Computing at Georgia Tech’s School of Interactive Computing. Her work integrates design research\, qualitative methods\, and science and technology studies to examine how time\, infrastructure\, and institutional life shape the use and experience of technology in everyday settings. Before her doctoral studies\, she worked as a design researcher at public health research centers and consultancies\, including Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health’s D-Lab\, Flip Labs\, and the Design Lab at the Center for Interdisciplinary Inquiry and Innovation in Sexual and Reproductive Health (Ci3) at the University of Chicago. Catherine holds an MS in Informatics from Penn State University\, a Master of Design from the IIT Institute of Design\, and a BA in Visual Communication from Loyola University Chicago.
