Postphenomenological perspectives on design, technology and consumption
We explore how consumption is closely related to the relational, materially mediated experience of technology through the design and deployment of speculative artefacts, and furthermore how the mediative properties of such artefacts may influence these outcomes. Analyses of cases developed within a postgraduate design course drew from postphenomenology to frame the relational intertwining through which humans, technologies and the environment are…
Reciprocity Deficits
The street has emerged as a primary site where publics are confronted with AI as an everyday reality. AI-based systems are now commonly deployed in this setting in the form of automated cars, facial recognition, smart billboards and the like. While this use of AI in the street has attracted significant media attention and public controversy, such deployments often remain inscrutable, and everyday publics are often unaware of their presence. We re…
Generative AI in child sexual exploitation and abuse
Amidst the general excitement about the opportunities afforded by artificial intelligence (AI), the tech industry must confront the uncomfortable reality that generative AI also facilitates child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA). This issue remains under-addressed in the literature. Aiming to deepen the understanding of online CSEA and the misuse of generative AI, we report empirical insights from semi-structured interviews with seven UK law …

Soils, Science and Community ActioN (SoilSCAN)
Pastoralist communities worldwide face complex challenges regarding food and feed productivity. Primary production systems are under stress, nutritional choices are changing and the relationship between development and agriculture is undergoing profound transformation. Under increasing pressure from climate and land use change, East African agro-pastoral systems are approaching a tipping point in terms of land degradation. There is an urgent need…

Driving and ‘Passengering
We spend ever‐increasing periods of our lives travelling in cars, yet quite what it is we do while travelling, aside from driving the vehicle itself, is largely overlooked. Drawing on analyses of video records of a series of quite ordinary episodes of car travel, in this paper we begin to document what happens during car journeys. The material concentrates on situations where people are travelling together in order to examine how social units suc…
Data and life on the street
What does the abundance of data and proliferation of data-making methods mean for the ordinary person, the person on the street? And, what could they come to mean? In this paper, we present an overview of a year-long project to examine just such questions and complicate, in some ways, what it is to ask them. The project is a collective exercise in which we - a mixture of social scientists, designers and makers - and those living and working on on…
What Lines, Rats, and Sheep Can Tell Us
In his 2015 Research Through Design provocation, Tim Ingold invites his audience to think with string, lines, and meshworks. In this article I use Ingold's concepts to explore an orientation to design-one that threads through both Ingold's ideas and Vinciane Despret's vivid and moving accounts of human-animal relations. This is a "thinking and doing" through design that seeks to be expansive to the capacities of humans and non-humans in relation …
Binding and aging
In many respects, we take the age of things for granted. Age is assumed to be an inherent quality, dictated by the time a thing has been in existence and put to use. Many of us have even developed an appreciation for the wear associated with age. The worn leather covers of old books, their mottled pages and the creases along their spines are all considered, in some circles at least, to be signs of age and thus value. This article examines such id…
Listening with indifference
In the following, we suggest that the product of ethnographies undertaken for commercial and industrial purposes is under threat of losing its integrity. The sorts of results furnished through 'applied ethnography' and those resulting from methods like focus groups, interviews, questionnaires, etc. appear largely of the same kind; they describe and codify the members of a setting and their behaviours, and differ, if at all, in terms of depth and …

After interaction
Interaction turns on the outmoded idea that there is a natural separation between people and things. Technologies have always been about producing dense, interconnected relationships of humans and non-humans. Seeing design as performing expansive networks of relations opens up possibilities beyond the human-computer interactions. The relations go much deeper than any discrete interactions between user and machine. Extensive investigations have al…
Demo hour
Interactivity is a unique forum of the ACM CHI Conference that showcases hands-on demonstrations, novel interactive technologies, and artistic installations. At CHI 2015 in Seoul we hosted more than 30 exhibits, including an invited digital interactive art exhibit. Interactivity highlights the diverse group of computer scientists, sociologists, designers, psychologists, artists, and many more who make up the CHI community. Julie R. Williamson and…

Making Mystics Out of Cheese”
This article explores the work of Flannery O’Connor as a unique twentieth century Catholic author, who understood the metaphysical and moral crisis of her day as confronting a pervasive nihilism which denied the existence of objective good and evil and any sense of transcendent, universal morality such as the Thomistic understanding of virtue and vice central to the Christian moral tradition. The author first examines A Prayer Journal (2013), whi…
