Understanding craft-based inquiry in HCI
|
Abstract: Over the last decade, a number of craft-based approaches to research have emerged within the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). In this paper, we examine the roots of crafting as they apply to these approaches, which blend analog crafts with digital technology, and we outline three defining characteristics: the integration of analog and digital crafting processes, the creation of highly refined products, and the creation of a deep and embodied knowledge. Moreover, we demonstrate how Richard Sennett’s tripartite deconstruction of the crafting process can be applied to support analysis of the types and processes of knowledge generated in craft-based approaches to HCI.

Troubling Innovation: Craft and Computing Across Boundaries.
Abstract: Craft practices such as needlework, ceramics, and woodworking have long informed and broadened the scope of HCI research. Whether through sewable microcontrollers or programs of small-scale production, they have helped widen the range of people and work recognised as

The technocrafted posthuman: introducing cyborganics.
Abstract: The augmented human, whether in the form of quantifying wearable technologies or extended into the cyborg, continues the Cartesian trajectory of liberating spirit from matter. Reductionist calculation replaces the inconvenient unruliness of organic matter, with predictable precision and orderliness.

Cyborganic wearables: sociotechnical misbehavior and the evolution of non-human agency
Introduction: The following chapter posits that the evolution of wearable technology into our materials and our bodies represent opportunities for an expanded understanding of what it means to be human, augmenting human perception and sensual capacity. This technogenesis of the

Becoming-with vegetal: sympoietic design practice with plant partners
Introduction: In this chapter, I describe the profound changes in the relationship between us, two human designers, and various plant participants, which took place during the design process of a plant-controlled, interactive installation. Furthermore, I examine the nature of participation

Crafting sympoietic artifacts: Making sonic needlepoint with nonhuman partners.
Abstract: Craft-based approaches are increasingly gaining attention in the field of HCI and interaction design research. These approaches require the development of a wide array of acute sensitivities towards both physical and digital materials and their composite qualities; skills which
