H., Barnard, P., Adams, M., Tandavanitj, N., & Row Farr, J. (2024, May). Charting Ethical Tensions in Multispecies Technology Research through Beneficiary-Epistemology Space. Presented at CHI '24 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Hawaii, USA

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...

The Purr-suit of Happiness: A Tale of Three Kittens, Robots, Humans, Cats, and AI
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Schneiders, E., Benford, S., Row Farr, J., Tandavanitj, N., & Adams, M. (2024, March). The Purr-suit of Happiness: A Tale of Three Kittens, Robots, Humans, Cats, and AI. Presented at HRI '24: ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction, Boulder CO USA

This paper showcases Cat Royale, an exploration of the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on animal happiness situated at the intersection of Art, Computer Science, and Animal Welfare. We argue for the inclusion of non-human actors when designing... Read More about The Purr-suit of Happiness: A Tale of Three Kittens, Robots, Humans, Cats, and AI.

Designing Multispecies Worlds for Robots, Cats, and Humans
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Schneiders, E., Benford, S., Chamberlain, A., Mancini, C., Castle-Green, S., Ngo, V., Row Farr, J., Adams, M., Tandavanitj, N., & Fischer, J. (2024, May). Designing Multispecies Worlds for Robots, Cats, and Humans. Presented at CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI ’24), Honolulu, HI, USA

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.

Insights Into Legacy: Issues of Handover from a Partner-Initiated Project
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Thorn, E., Spence, J., Koleva, B., & Benford, S. D. (2024, May). Insights Into Legacy: Issues of Handover from a Partner-Initiated Project. Presented at CHI '24: CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Honolulu HI USA

We report on a six-year collaboration with a small community organisation to develop and deploy a permanent physical / digital locative media experience as part on an ongoing community regeneration project. We describe how this unfolded over four pha... Read More about Insights Into Legacy: Issues of Handover from a Partner-Initiated Project.
