Entangled Weathers: A Noticing Tactic

This pictorial introduces entangled weathers, a noticing tactic that poetically examines the interplay between our internal states and external weather. By drawing from the feminist concept of weathering and the introspective practice of noticing the weather inside, this work highlights how bodies are situated in a d…

Searching for the Words that "Feel Right": Resonating with our Bodies and Felt Senses Through Haiku and LLMs

The role of our bodies in our meaning-making has been mostly absent in discussions concerning interactions with LLMs. Acknowledging this gap, this paper explores the use of ChatGPT as a tool for somatic introspection towards finding the words that "feel right" to our bodies and emotions. We document our three-month, f…

Estrangement through Silence

How can we cultivate deeper attunement to one another, ourselves, and the environment that can, in turn, inform and enrich design? Over the course of four workshops conducted across 1.5 years – primarily outdoors – the authors engaged in prolonged periods of shared silence. This collective silence functioned as an est…

Identifying Critical Points of Departure for the Design of Self-Fashioning Technologies

Designing technologies that clothe, adorn, or are otherwise placed on the body raises questions concerning the role they will play in dressing ourselves. We situate self-fashioning – or the process through which we stylise and present our bodies – as a complex practice where a series of social, material, and contextua…

Autosomatographical Narratives: Towards the Articulation of Felt Accounts of Pain for Somaesthetic Design

Chronic pain can be debilitating, taking over our senses and potentially destroying our means of describing our experiences. In this pictorial, we contribute three concepts based on the analysis of autosomatographies, a first-person narrative approach from illness and disability studies to communicate experiences of p…

Articulating Felt Senses for More-Than-Human Design: A Viewpoint for Noticing

To rigorously approach the more-than-human world in design research, we need to become more receptive and better equipped to describe the complexities of relationality. In response, this paper advocates for the articulation of the felt sense -or tacit knowledge residing in our bodies- as a viewpoint for noticing. Assi…

Sharing Earthquake Narratives: Making Space for Others in our Autobiographical Design Process.

As interaction designers are venturing to design for others based on autobiographical experiences, it becomes particularly relevant to critically distinguish the designer's voice from others' experiences. However, few reports go into detail about how self and others mutually shape the design process and how to incorpo…

Felt Ethics: Cultivating Ethical Sensibility in Design Practice

We theoretically develop the ethical positions implicit in somaesthetic interaction design and, using the case study of a water faucet, illustrate our conceptual understanding of ethical sensibilities in design. We apply four lenses -- the felt self, intercorporeal self, socio-cultural and political self, and entangle…

Corsetto: A Kinesthetic Garment for Designing, Composing for, and Experiencing an Intersubjective Haptic Voice

We present a novel intercorporeal experience – an intersubjective haptic voice. Through an autobiographical design inquiry, based on singing techniques from the classical opera tradition, we created Corsetto, a kinesthetic garment for transferring somatic reminiscents of vocal experience from an expert singer to a lis…

Focusing for Interaction Design: An Introspective Somatic Method

Attending to the challenges of describing first-person experience, this article illustrates different uses of the Focusing method in interaction design and HCI, offering a systematic way of accessing the subtle qualities of lived experiences for design use. In this approach, the implicit bodily knowledge -or felt sens…

Vulnerability as an ethical stance in soma design processes

We articulate vulnerability as an ethical stance in soma design processes and discuss the conditions of its emergence. We argue that purposeful vulnerability – an act of taking risk, exposing oneself, and resigning part of one’s autonomy – is a necessary although often neglected part of design, and specifically soma d…
