Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Pelvic Chair uses soft robotics to gently touch the outer pelvic floor to create awareness of its anatomy and function. Our pelvic floor is an important muscle group that holds up our inner organs. A soma design approach makes out a novel route to know through our senses what an experience in this context feels like, which can provide alternative ways of being in the world. Through annotated imagery, we explore the affordances of soft latex pockets filled with air to convey touch that is appropriate for this intimate, sensitive area. Iteratively, we investigate how layers of materials, area, shape, volume and temporality, together with the specific placement on the body, convey the kinds of experiential qualities we seek. We highlight that somatic design judgements are crucial in guiding this process, going beyond traditional approaches to design that focus on visual assessments, models, or hand-based touch.

To Monitor Is to Manage – Or Not? : Which Data Do We Need to Reach the Environmental Sustainable Development Goals?
- 2023
-
Rapport (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Artificial intelligence (AI) impacts our journey in reaching the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals in more ways than one. In the WASP-HS report “AI, sustainability and Agenda 2030”, the conclusions from the community reference meeting that took place on October 4, 2023, are presented. The contribution formulates and discusses the following challenges: First, that the desire to make environmental data politically actionable in immediate ways is understandable but requires carefully qualifying the aims. Data circulation accelerates various forms of data use, including commercial and for-profit use. Second, that data accommodates different stakeholder views and opposing interests. The same data sets can support diverging understandings of “sustainability”.
