User Experience (UX) Heuristics for the Digital Humanities
Although engaging with both academic and general audiences is a key objective of the digital humanities, the extent to which this value influences the full development of a project is less certain. User Experience (UX) has an especially uneven status within DH practice, despite its critical role in producing the best and most accessible versions of highly conceptual, scholarly, and discipline-heavy projects. The disparity results from uncertainti…
Someone Behind This Technology
Between Code and Culture
Artificial intelligence (AI)-related technologies available to consumers have been rapidly advancing but without parallel insight into the social process of their design. Building AI tools to converse with humans and support our lives remains a significant challenge for which consistency and codified standards are lacking. Following a tradition in science and technology studies of shining light on design and technology development as negotiated c…
Media frames, AI romantic relationships, and the perspectives of people in relationships; mapping and comparing news media themes with user perspectives
Human romantic relationships with artificially intelligent (AI) conversational agents and anthropomorphic computers have long been the realm of science fiction. As companies like Luka, Inc. are developing embodied conversational agents called Replika, people’s ability to engage in romantic relationships has garnered news coverage around the phenomenon. Because news is often a place where emerging technologies are first introduced, it is essential…
Hyped but Invisible
User Experience (UX) research and design have quickly gained popularity as specialties within the tech industry. Having a "good UX process" has been considered essential to successful innovation since user experience pioneer Don Norman defined the field's relationship to "radical" and "incremental" innovation (2013). Nonetheless, UX work remains largely invisible to those outside of the echo chambers of technology and innovation. This especially …
Artificial Love
Depictions of romantic relationships between humans and computers/robots/AI systems are a common trope in science fiction. With recent advances in AI conversational chatbots and augmented reality avatars, applications such as Replika have started to enable everyday people to engage in romantic relationships with AI chatbots and talk to visual representations of their AI partners. While there has been a growing body of work exploring the motivatio…
The machine without the ghost
This article is part of an ongoing ethnography of the Japanese television industry focusing on its attempts to experiment with live, interactive content that was manipulable via smart devices, laptops, and remote controls. Based on 18 months of fieldwork in the Japanese television industry in four major TV network offices and two production companies, it also incorporates interviews with more than 30 broadcast company employees. I use two case st…
Open access, closed systems
This article is part of an ethnography of Japan’s ‘independent’ journalism movement, with a focus on the establishment and dissolution of the Free Press Association of Japan (FPAJ). Based on 13 months of fieldwork within this organization and other internet news broadcasters (i.e., the Independent Web Journal, Our Planet TV), I argue that the conventional taxonomies applied to journalists and journalistic praxis do not easily apply to Japan. Even…

Online trolling and its perpetrators
Paradoxical Infrastructures
In recent years, a dramatic increase in the study of infrastructure has occurred in the social sciences and humanities, following upon foundational work in the physical sciences, architecture, planning, information science, and engineering. This article, authored by a multidisciplinary group of scholars, probes the generative potential of infrastructure at this historical juncture. Accounting for the conceptual and material capacities of infrastr…
