#job #HCI Two #PostDoc positions going with the wonderful @ousmet in his ERC project https://dive.ousmet.com/inclusive-cross-sensory-social-play/ at the University of Bristol > Inclusive Co-design (https://www.bristol.ac.uk/jobs/find/details/?jobId=343818) and edible interfaces (https://www.bristol.ac.uk/jobs/find/details/?jobId=343815) - bon apetit!

A few more days (until 15.4) to submit to this @IDC_ACM workshop - join us! https://sites.google.com/utwente.nl/child-ai-entanglements/home

I'm happy to be able to join @cfrauenberger tomorrow for an online talk at the CHIME network around entanglement HCI and musical instrument design. Starts at 2pm London time (3pm CEST). Details here: https://www.chime.ac.uk/chime-seminar-christopher-frauenberger-and-andrew-mcpherson

#Children do not just interact with #AI; rather they develop relationships with and through #AI. Please join us for a workshop on “Exploring Child-AI Entanglements” @IDC_ACM more details: https://sites.google.com/utwente.nl/child-ai-entanglements/home - with Michaela Honauer, deadline 15.4.

@peterpur, very good reflections - “It is an impossible proposition to create a technical system that does not impose its structures on the people using it.“ - I’ve been making a very similar argument about the introduction of Teams in schools (-> learning is made the work of our children, which is a quite horrible idea...)

while writing a little blurb about how using moodle can mess up your idiosyncratic ideas about teaching and learning, i started meandering down a little rabbit hole about why i’m doing what i’m doing while teaching. too long for a toot, so, a blog post:

i gave a talk at a norwegian university (NTNU) about our »ways of thinking« journey/course. with 30 minutes, the talk was rather long-ish, but i feel it is one of the most compact telling of the overall story.

foolishly, they let me have the recording, so i can pester you with it 😈

ps: shoutout to @cfrauenberger as he is the irreplaceable co-creator of this project!

#Job #PostDoc Great opportunity in an important project led by @dindler at @AarhusUni_int on Design Ethics in Practice (am involved as part of the international advisory board) Apply! https://international.au.dk/about/profile/vacant-positions/job/postdoc-in-design-ethics-in-practice

#Job #HCI #PhD Come work with us! We have a 4yr PhD position going at the Centre for HCI, University of Salzburg - great place, great people, open topic. Please boost and share with anyone who might be interested. https://hci.plus/open-phd-position/

thanks @peterpur, worth watching the whole thing, although its a little tech-bro, AI doomerism and anothropomorphising (that’s me saying its not engaging with some fundamental philosophical questions about what it means to being in world...) but: really well made argument and rather shocking in places (the prospect of visualising dreams from fMRI ...)

Excited to be part of this PhD course on HCI theory, organised by Kasper Horbæk, Olga Iarygina and @torsalve in Copenhagen. Other guests include @professorBodker and Eduardo Velloso. See here https://www.theoryinhci.org for details and registration.

Through examples, we trace responsibilities across time from milieus of innovation, to design practices and in use. We discuss how "doing responsibilities" may serve the prime purposes of our moral practices and sketch methodological, theoretical, and designerly consequences

We start by reviewing the philosophical origins of responsibility and discuss views in #HCI. Rethinking these, we develop a notion of responsibility as “being done” rather than being had: enacted in assemblages, rooted in relations rather than entities, and temporally dispersed

Against the backdrop of the increasing agential capabilities of digital tech, we argue for relational ontologies to understand how they become actively interwoven in what happens in the world. But what, then, can responsibility mean?

New Article! @vfuchsberg and I wrote about what happens to the notion of responsibility in tech when applying a posthuman, relational and performative lens: Doing Responsibilities in Entangled Worlds
https://doi.org/10.1080/07370024.2023.2269934 ... curious?

@alextaylor oh, I didn’t know - congratulations!

Attending a conference called #convergence2023 at the @oeaw in Vienna with many interdisciplinary talks on the interface between the digital and the living... a lot of talk about the cyborg and I wonder how much trans-humanism and AI-hype there will be. Anyway, I will inject a dose of #posthumanism in a short talk tomorrow...

Yes! Finally managed to submit a revised manuscript for #TOCHI that has been really hard work and took the whole summer. The reviews were excellent, though, and in the best sense created a space for scientific discourse. Fingers crossed...

@forster - congratulations and well done!

Indeed, we really witness how language and metaphors shape realities to be imagined, researched and built. Case in point, this editorial introducing the new Elsevier journal: Computers in Human Behavior: Artificial Humans
