Design, Interaction, and Technologically Dense Environments. Methodological challenges to entangled work practices Workshop at the University of Technology in Berlin 14-18 September 2014 Katharina Bredies, Attila Bruni, Valentin Janda, Cornelius Schubert Deadline: 30.05.2014 In Technologically Dense Environments (TDEs), manifold situated interactions and layerings of humans and non.humans create heterogeneous and messy spaces of work. It follows that density is not a stable feature of TDEs, rather it is permanently produced through the complex translations of actors and artefacts. Likewise, these translations cannot be described as static procedures, but should rather be conceived as constantly developing and sometimes creative interactions of…

Re-imagining Commonly Used Mobile Interfaces for Older Adults September 23, 2014, Toronto, Canada http://www.olderadults.mobi workshop@olderadults.mobi Call for Papers Many countries have an increasingly ageing population. In recent years, mobile technologies have had a massive impact on social and working life. As the older adult population rises, many people will want to continue professional, social and lifestyle usage of mobiles into their 70s and beyond. Mobiles support community involvement and personal independence, but the ageing process can interfere considerably with their usage, e.g. through changes in vision, attention, and motor control. This workshop will bring together researchers who are re-imagining mobile…
