    aicracy: Everyday Objects from a Future Society Governed by Artifical Intelligence
    (Mensch und Computer 2019 - Tagungsband, 2019) Hemmert, Fabian; Becker, Piet; Görts, Alexander; Hrlic, David; von Netzer, David; Weld, Christopher J.
    In this paper, we present aicracy, a critical design project that portrays a society ruled by an artificial intelligence. Five hypothetical objects from this society are presented: a bracelet that gives citizens feedback about their deeds, a patch that releases dopamine into its wearer's blood, an office chair that collapses when its user is unproductive, a shopping basket that displays different prices for different users, depending on how much they contribute to society, and a marble-based voting machine.

    Designing alternative future home stories
    (INFORMATIK 2023 - Designing Futures: Zukünfte gestalten, 2023) Haupt, Benedikt; Pentzold, Christian; Becker, Alexa; Berger, Arne
    Usually the smart home imaginaries portray nuclear families living in detached houses with a focus on efficiency and energy. In this workshop, we follow the co-design approach to imagine alternative future homes beyond this stereotype. First, we brainstorm the concept of home addressing idiosyncratic needs and expectations. Second, we try three co-design tool adaptations in small groups which allow us to collaboratively imagine speculative futures. LittleBoxes is a cultural probe variation with which participants can configure a speculative future by using inspirational and technological materials. The Tiles IoT Inventor Toolkit adaptation helps to tell detailed stories of how to possibly live with technology in the future. With the IoT Service Kit adaption participants are able to build speculative home scenarios and playfully explore imaginary future technologies within them. There will be two rounds of co-designing, so every participant will explore two of the toolkits. In the last part, we reflect on the experiences as well as discuss if and how participants could imagine adapting the introduced tools beyond the workshop.
