Augmenting Musical Instruments with Digital Identities (2024)
Journal Article
Benford, S., Mcgarry, G., Hazzard, A., Gibson, R., Avila, J., Chamberlain, A., & Mcgarry, G. (in press). Augmenting Musical Instruments with Digital Identities. Journal of New Music Research,

We explore how augmenting musical instruments with digital identities can enhance their provenance, utility during creative practice, and personal meaning. A literature review reveals the importance of object identities in general and instrument iden... Read More about Augmenting Musical Instruments with Digital Identities.

Designing Prosocial More-Than-Human Rhetoric within Experiential Futures (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Coulton, P., Stead, M., Pilling, M., Crabtree, A., Chamberlain, A., & Sailaja, N. (2024, October). Designing Prosocial More-Than-Human Rhetoric within Experiential Futures. Presented at Mindtrek 2024, Tampere, Finland

While prosocial behaviour is often described as behaviour intended to help and benefit others, it is primarily considered through an anthropocentric lens in that the others in question are principally humans. In this research, we consider designed sy... Read More about Designing Prosocial More-Than-Human Rhetoric within Experiential Futures.

Responsibility and Regulation: Exploring Social Measures of Trust in Medical AI (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McGarry, G., Crabtree, A., Chamberlain, A., & Urquhart, L. D. (2024, September). Responsibility and Regulation: Exploring Social Measures of Trust in Medical AI. Presented at Second International Symposium on Trustworthy Autonomous Systems (TAS ’24), Austin, Texas, USA

This paper explores expert accounts of autonomous systems (AS) development in the medical device domain (MD) involving applications of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and other algorithmic and mathematical modelling techniques. W... Read More about Responsibility and Regulation: Exploring Social Measures of Trust in Medical AI.

How Artists Improvise and Provoke Robotics (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Benford, S., Garrett, R., Schneiders, E., Tennent, P., Chamberlain, A., Avila, J., Brundell, P., & Castle-Green, S. (2024, October). How Artists Improvise and Provoke Robotics. Presented at 16th International Conference on Social Robotics + AI (ICSR + AI) 2024, Odense, Denmark

We explore transdisciplinary collaborations between artists and roboticists across a portfolio of artworks. Brendan Walker's Bronco-matic was a breath controlled mechanical rodeo bull ride. Blast Theory's Cat Royale deployed a robot arm to play with... Read More about How Artists Improvise and Provoke Robotics.

Making of an Adaptive Podcast that Engenders Trust through Data Negotiability (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sailaja, N., Crabtree, A., Lodge, T., Chamberlain, A., Coulton, P., Pilling, M., & Forrester, I. (2024, June). Making of an Adaptive Podcast that Engenders Trust through Data Negotiability. Presented at IMX 2024 - Proceedings of the 2024 ACM International Conference on Interactive Media Experiences, Stockholm, Sweden

As novel media experiences turn towards audience personal data for enhancement, a range of socio-technical challenges that confront their adoption into the everyday lives of audiences are simultaneously surfaced. Podcasts, being the latest member of... Read More about Making of an Adaptive Podcast that Engenders Trust through Data Negotiability.

Charting Ethical Tensions in Multispecies Technology Research through Beneficiary-Epistemology Space (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Benford, S. D., Mancini, C., Chamberlain, A., Schneiders, E., Castle-Green, S. D., Fischer, J. E., …Row Farr, J. (2024). Charting Ethical Tensions in Multispecies Technology Research through Beneficiary-Epistemology Space. In CHI '24: Proceedings of the CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems. https://doi.org/10.1145/3613904.3641994

While ethical challenges are widely discussed in HCI, far less is reported about the ethical processes that researchers routinely navigate. We reflect on a multispecies project that negotiated an especially complex ethical approval process. Cat Royal...

Designing Multispecies Worlds for Robots, Cats, and Humans (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Schneiders, E., Benford, S., Chamberlain, A., Mancini, C., Castle-Green, S., Ngo, V., …Fischer, J. (2024). Designing Multispecies Worlds for Robots, Cats, and Humans. In Proceedings of the CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI ’24), May 11–16, 2024, Honolulu, HI, USA (1-16). https://doi.org/10.1145/3613904.3642115

We reflect on the design of a multispecies world centred around a be-spoke enclosure in which three cats and a robot arm coexist for six hours a day during a twelve-day installation as part of an artist-led project. In this paper, we present the proj... Read More about Designing Multispecies Worlds for Robots, Cats, and Humans.
