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.

The Stretchy Strap: supporting encumbered interaction with guitars (2023)
Journal Article
Martinez Avila, J., Hazzard, A., Greenhalgh, C., Benford, S., & McPherson, A. (2023). The Stretchy Strap: supporting encumbered interaction with guitars. Journal of New Music Research, 52(1), 19-40. https://doi.org/10.1080/09298215.2023.2274832

Guitarists struggle to play their instruments while simultaneously using additional computing devices (i.e., encumbered interaction). We explored designs with guitarists through co-design and somaesthetic design workshops, learning that they (unsurpr...

Infrastructures for Virtual Volunteering at Online Music Festivals (2023)
Journal Article
Benford, S., Manninen, K., Martindale, S., Hazzard, A., Avila, J. P. M., Tennent, P., …Darzentas, D. P. (2023). Infrastructures for Virtual Volunteering at Online Music Festivals. Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction, 7(CSCW1), 1-26. https://doi.org/10.1145/3579498

Volunteering benefits recipients, volunteers, communities, and society, while digital technologies establish new opportunities for virtual volunteering. We describe how volunteers transitioned the UK's long-established Oxjam grassroots music festival... Read More about Infrastructures for Virtual Volunteering at Online Music Festivals.

Crafting Trajectories of Smart Phone Use at the Opera (2022)
Journal Article
Greenhalgh, C., Hazzard, A., Benford, S., Cliffe, L., & Kelly, E. (2022). Crafting Trajectories of Smart Phone Use at the Opera. ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction, 29(6), 1-37. https://doi.org/10.1145/3531007

Losing Her Voice is a new opera which highlights the challenges of subtly interweaving digital technologies into established cultural forms. Audience members were encouraged to use their own mobile phones to interact with on-stage projections before,... Read More about Crafting Trajectories of Smart Phone Use at the Opera.

Contesting control: journeys through surrender, self-awareness and looseness of control in embodied interaction (2020)
Journal Article
Benford, S., Ramchurn, R., Marshall, J., Wilson, M. L., Pike, M., Martindale, S., …Walker, B. (2021). Contesting control: journeys through surrender, self-awareness and looseness of control in embodied interaction. Human-Computer Interaction, 36(5-6), 361-389. https://doi.org/10.1080/07370024.2020.1754214

As Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) engages with technologies that sense and actuate the body, there is a need to reconsider the human bodily experience. We present three case studies that each involve different forms of bodily experience: a breath-c...
