Abstract

How might the shaping of technology make our lives richer and more meaningful? This presentation (with live demos) is a journey through the design of everyday tools, musical instruments, games, and social experiences -- working at the intersection of HCI, design, art, the humanities and social science. It is a story on how we shape technology, and how technology, in turn, shapes us and our society.
