On the Habitabilities of Bacterial Cellulose for Living Artefacts

Bacterial cellulose (BC), also known as a Kombucha mat or SCOBY, is a grown material widely adopted in design and HCI communities due to its biodegradability, accessibility and mechanical versatility. Alongside these aspects, BC’s qualities to become a habitat for other living organisms, i.e., its habitabilities, have…

Surfacing Livingness in Microbial Displays: A Design Taxonomy for HCI

In recent years, there has been a notable proliferation and diversification of works in HCI, that integrate living microorganisms; an imperative lifeform dominating ecosystems of our planet. Yet despite the growing interest, there is a lack of structured lenses with which designers can strategize their processes of su…

Flavorium: An Exploration of Flavobacteria’s Living Aesthetics for Living Color Interfaces

Flavobacteria, which can be found in marine environments, are able to grow in highly organized colonies producing vivid iridescent colorations. While much is known about the biology of these organisms, their design potential as responsive media in user interfaces has not been explored. Our paper aims at bridging this…

The Blockchain and the Commons: Dilemmas in the Design of Local Platforms

This paper addresses the design dilemmas that arise when distributed ledger technologies (DLT) are to be applied in the governance of artificial material commons. DLTs, such as blockchain, are often presented as enabling technologies for self-governing communities, provided by their consensus mechanisms, transparent a…
