Hidden Layer Interaction: A Technique to Explore the Material of Generative AI

This pictorial describes the process of developing an interaction technique for directly engaging with the hidden layers of a generative AI model for image synthesis. First, we give some background to generative AI in HCI, arguing that current interaction techniques prevent us from directly interacting with the materi…

Taking the Bizarre Seriously: Dreams as a Material for Interaction Design

Sleep technologies promise optimised sleep by tracking sleep cycles or by affecting sleep environment. This paper expands sleep technology to address more complex notions of sleep, proposing dream technology as a path for reflective practices that focus on nightly dreams rather than hours slept. Because dreams are ‘bi…

Fabulation as an Approach for Design Futuring

Envisioning alternative futures and desirable worlds is a core element of design that must be cultivated, especially when a deep transition of practices, values, and power is necessary for vibrant and just future lifeworlds. In this paper, we contribute towards fabulation as an approach for design futuring that foregr…

Designing Anekdota: Investigating Personal Metadata for Legacy

This project uses research through design to explore how metadata could be used as a design material to create inheritable artefacts that make personal legacy experiential. Metadata is produced as traces of life, and by designing artifacts that capture and represent these traces, interaction design offers the possibil…

Diffraction-in-action: Designerly Explorations of Agential Realism Through Lived Data

Recent design research has shown an interest in diffraction and agential realism, which promise to offer generative alternatives when designing with data that resist treating data as objective or neutral. We explore engaging diffractively with `lived data' to surface felt and prospective aspects of data as it is entan…

Gut-Tracking as Cultivation

Contemporary self-tracking devices take forms that reflect particular cultures of self-tracking that emphasize clinical perspectives and numerical precision. In this pictorial, we explore alternative forms to speculate on other possible self-tracking cultures. We present how we involved experts on the relationship bet…
