Uniquely Shaped Spaces: Object-Driven Algorithmic Shelf Design and Fabrication

Most shelving relies on rectangular compartments that ignore the contours of the objects they hold. We present Uniquely Shaped Spaces, an object-driven algorithmic tool for custom shelving generation. The workflow arranges users' object silhouettes with simulated annealing, grows walls via cellular automata to carve f…

Design Bookkeeping: Making Practice Intelligible through a Managerial Lens

As DIS researchers increasingly describe design as an emergent and material engaged practice, many are embracing different approaches to design documentation that capture the breadth of these practices. This pictorial contributes to these efforts by shedding light on a kind of managerial work that emerged when creatin…

Animated Linen: Using High-twist Hygromorphic Yarn to Produce Interactive Woven Textiles

HCI research has demonstrated that textiles have interactive potential, with the ability to transform or self-shape, whether through material, structure, or the addition of non textile elements. Many materials for developing interactive or animated textiles – textiles which change during use – are fossil fuel-based, r…

Investigating Underdetermination Through Interactive Computational Handweaving

Computational handweaving combines the repeatable precision of digital fabrication with relatively high production demands of the user: a weaver must be physically engaged with the system to enact a pattern, line by line, into a fabric. Rather than approaching co-presence and repetitive labor as a negative aspect of d…

Entangling the Roles of Maker and Interpreter in Interpersonal Data Narratives: Explorations in Sound and Yarn

To explore how materials, data, and humans collaborate to produce physical data representations, we created a series of artefacts from personal data we collected (about commuting, forgetting, and busy-ness) in different media---yarn and sound. We exchanged these artefacts without providing guidelines for how to interp…

CSCW '182nd AuthorWorkshop: Sociotechnical Systems of Care

Workshop: Sociotechnical Systems of Care

The goal of this workshop is to bring together CSCW audiences who engage in studies and interventions related to care work. Our aims are to understand how care has been conceptualized in the extant CSCW community, identify core issues and concerns, and formalize how CSCW concepts could be used as a lens to inquire int…
