What is it about?

This workshop brings together artists, scholars, HCI and design researchers to rethink time in design and approach the topic through the notion of temporalities, namely, nonhuman expressions of temporality. Examples include the rates, ways, and rhythms other than human beings engage life.

Why is it important?

Our human-centric notions of time dictate how we impose profit-oriented and acceleration-based rhythms upon the natural world, and in order to shift this paradigm, we need to understand how other beings experience time, so we may start designing with their rhythms in mind, therefore their well-being.

Perspectives

Writing this workshop proposal with several important co-authors has been an extremely valuable experience. The workshop itself was tremendously fruitful in that it brought together a very diverse group of academics.
