Beyond State & Market Imaginaries of Computation: Cultivating Computational Cultures Otherwise with Social Movements
Much of what we have come to know or name as computing technologies – from everyday productivity tools to generative AI – are typically shaped by the visions and priorities set by the state and the market. In other words, they are fundamentally invested in sustaining social…

Dissertation Defense: Michael Beach, "Designing for Entangled Speculation: A Research Through Design Approach for Exploring Wicked Problems"
Members of the HCDE & DUB communities are invited to attend a dissertation defense by PhD Candidate Michael Beach. Designing for Entangled Speculation: A Research Through Design Approach for Exploring Wicked Problems, PhD Candidate: Michael W. Beach
Abstract:
This dissertation explores entanglement as a structuring logic for speculative engagement, aiming to unsettle dominant ontologies and epistemologies to and expand design practice toward the ethical demands of an entangled world. This approach matters because the wicked problems we face in the 21st century, such as climate crisis, social inequity, global health crises, and extractive infrastructures, resist tidy solutions and expose the limits of conventional design frameworks that rely on separability, linear causality, or predictable outcomes. Grasping the magnitude, scale, and complexity of these challenges remains to be understood and will require new methods, approaches, and practices that can hold contradiction, that can embrace the unknown, that…

Code and Craft: An Artists-in-Residence Talk at Machine Agency
Join HCDE’s Machine Agency for a special artists’ talk with this quarter’s artists in residence, who will share their creative practice at the intersection of code, craft, and material exploration.
Code and Craft
Developing tacit knowledge of material gives craftspeople insight into the underlying nature of their craft. In our shared art practice, code is our material, and through interactions with code we hope to discover and express the underlying algorithmic structure of the natural world. We also leverage code as a means of intervening with physical materials like cardboard, fiber, wood, and light. In this talk, we'll share examples of our work, walk through our processes, and discuss how we think about the relationship between code and craft.
About the presenters: Shelby Wilson (shelbywilson.cv) is a computer programmer and artist. Drawn to the seams of things both physical and digital, her work examines the web, handcraft, material, and computation. She uses websites, procedural animation, and…
