Abstract

Socially engaged methods are increasingly being used within HCI research, yet arts practice in this context has been little explored. HCI research that aligns with socially engaged arts practices encourages debate around societal challenges; for example discussion of issues surrounding the role of digital technology in sustainability, inclusion, community, identity and the politics of participation. Building on existing research, this workshop will bring together a diverse group of HCI researchers, artists and other creators whose work or interests align with socially engaged arts practice, to foster critical exploration and creative collaboration.

Situated Encounters with Socially Engaged Art in Community-based Design
DIS '16: Proceedings of the 2016 ACM Conference on Designing Interactive Systems

With the increased relevance of digital technologies in civil life comes the challenge of how to design research for citizen engagement. Drawing from three reflexive case studies presenting socially engaged arts (SEA) projects, we describe how, as ...
Constructing and constraining participation in participatory arts and HCI

Social practice art may suggest new understandings of and strategies for participation in HCI-but not in a straightforward way. Based on participant-observation at a major arts festival, we describe how a set of artists, concerned with environmental ...
Thinking outside the (tool) box: empowering people with toolkits
NordiCHI '18: Proceedings of the 10th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction

Toolkits enable individuals to create and design their own technologies. With more toolkits being commercially available, movements such as the Maker Movements has led to a hype around Do-It-Yourself and Making practices. This development aligns with ...
