Crip Sensorama reimagines accessibility within HCI – beyond a checklist of solutions by shifting from producing “assistive” XR solutions to accessible XR experiences alongside disabled artists Eric Desrosiers and Christian Bayerlein. Working in close collaboration with the artists, the project developed mouth gestures enabling interaction and movement within XR environments solely using mouth, tongue, and […]
In collaboration with dream researchers, the interactive AI system ReVerie examines ethical considerations in dream technology by inviting participants into a communal ritual of dream-sharing. Participants whisper their dreams, prompting a generative diffusion AI to visualize dream imagery within a collective immersive environment in real-time. This dynamic experience allows participants to re-engage their subconscious narratives, reclaiming […]
Do Algorithms Care? is a collaborative project by artist Amanda Bennetts and data scientist Johanna Einsiedler, developed during the Spring Term at IT:U. Anchored in an N=1 study, later expanded to N=2, the project investigates how AI and predictive technologies engage with personal health data, merging quantitative sensor readings with qualitative self-reporting on fatigue, pain, and stress to […]
Care is foundational to social solidarity, yet increasingly commodified within capitalist structures, notably through robotics. Reassembling Bolts of Care is a critical, performative exploration of these tensions. By staging interactive robotic performances, the project prompts collective reflection on how care—often exploited as a resource—can ethically intersect with technological innovation. Audiences are prompted to critically reflect on the integration […]
If medieval Europe had artificial intelligence, would it make a difference? GPT 1400: The AI Apothecary explores the strangeness of AI-generated advice through medieval medical remedies. Drawing on vast but uncritical databases, AI systems echo pre-scientific European physicians who relied on ancient texts rather than empirical evidence. In this interactive installation, participants received AI-generated medical […]
