Abstract

Remote and hybrid work has received significant attention in the last years in both academic and industrial contexts, especially due to the COVID-19 pandemic and attendant lockdown. Some of the remaining challenges in current remote technologies include limited embodiment, hierarchy and agency issues, and significant technological limitations. In this workshop, we will, together with the participants, explore how to design socio-technical systems that connect people and artefacts during collaborative activities. The workshop will use provocations, artefacts, and group work to imagine the futures of work with a focus on hybrid work practices.

OtherNordiCHI 2022 in Aarhus will highlight the Nordic traditions for bringing research into societal context through the choice of keynote speakers, panels and other invited sessions; and through outreach to public sector, industrial, civil society and cultural actors.<br/><br/>Human-computer interaction is in constant development. Today, context is taken for granted in computing as the technologies are not understood in isolation. Furthermore, the role of interactive technologies in shaping a sustainable future will become even more emphatic in coming years. HCI has a responsibility for providing tools for actions against climate change, but also for the development of the welfare state, wellbeing etc. Aarhus University is committed to these challenges through its strategy for 2020-2025.<br/><br/>Participatory design has grown out of Nordic research, together with the trade unions emphasising workers’ rights to codetermination and control over professional quality. While participation has become a widespread method in design, it still denotes a shift to understand users as active participants taking control, rather than users as system components. When people participate actively, they are not merely users: they are workers, citizens, artists, students, tenants, etc.<br/><br/>NordiCHI 2022 in Aarhus promotes sustainable futures by celebrating active participation in the development and use of interactive technologies.
