Human-Computer Integration

Yesterday when I was young,The thought of machines seemed so wrong,But now as I hit the road again,I find myself with a computer friend. We've integrated seamlessly,As if we were meant to be,Human and machine in harmony,A new kind of symphony. Yesterday when I was young,I never dreamed of screens and code,But now I'm on the road again,With gadgets in my hand to unfold. Human and computer, intertwined,A fusion of mind and machine,The future's here, we've redefined,What it means to be human, it seems. Our minds and machines will intertwine,As we learn to merge, blend and refine,The future beckons us to explore,Where the boundaries of humanity we'll adore - ChatGPT (2023) Charles Aznavour's Yesterday When I Was Young” by Willie Nelson - https://youtu.be/0Q-CxOn2ubg Willie Nelson - On The Road Again - https://youtu.be/nx8Qt0e4hnM

"Academics may experience similar angst as they engage in the problematic craft of writing. Richardson (2002) has frequently written about the challenges of sociological research and describes a self-reflexive moment when she was haunted by three simple but provocative questions, ‘What to write? How to write? For whom to write?’(Richardson 2002, 416)." - Writing out on a limb: integrating the creative and academic writing identity - https://lnkd.in/ejWayJVG

"Clichy sous Bois (Parijs), TowerHamlets (Londen), Rinkeby (Stockholm) en Molenbeek (Brussel) are about connecting and creativity in times of conflict. These neighbourhood's materiality is about the unifying element that people in these neighbourhoods encounter on a daily basis, which is the gritty (painful) and the messy (pleasurable) materiality of that particular neighbourhood." #materiality #extremeplacemaking #nochurchinthewild #situationalknowledge #multiplytherightthings #realdesign

"This body of knowledge - ’learned by doing’ - also demonstrates playful embodiment of resistance to power and dependency in intimate, personal social and public encounters, as both the medical and social models on Clichy sous Bois (Parijs), TowerHamlets (Londen), Rinkeby (Stockholm) en Molenbeek (Brussel) will objectify these neighbourhoods as being inferior (medical) or being ignored (social) (https://lnkd.in/eGjXdZEE)." - Anne Marleen, CHI 23 alternative (II)

"It is not uncommon to meet designers who are overflown with

passion to save the planet and work hard to protect its deterioration on a global or local scale, yet when it comes down to ‘backward societies’ on a personal or intimate scale, conversations lead to disconnect and ambiguity. Not only designers, also the people themselves refrain from exploring their neighbourhoods. Somehow, the design space seems to fall silent and complexities, controversies, and confrontations that exist in neighbourhoods like Clichy sous Bois (Parijs), TowerHamlets (Londen), Rinkeby (Stockholm) en Molenbeek (Brussel) are not fully out-played or recognised in the design space." - Anne Marleen, Cumulus 2023 alternative (II)

"Overstating or performing difference, when that difference is a stigma, makes one into a target, but it also exposes and resists prejudices of society, resulting in better understanding of the relation between disability & ability in any given situation."

I am a researcher facing a giant Rothko painting of disabled people, who are desensitised because of the stigmas that they have encountered in their life. In that same painting are positivity designers who make well intended elegant, yet useless solutions for disabled people. #phd #bodily #integrated #systems #nobodyknowsanything Well, maybe we'll get lost in translation Maybe I'll ask for too much But maybe this thing will be a masterpiece ☥ 'Til you will tear it all up Running scared, I have been there I remember it all too well, all too well ❤️ All Too Well - Taylor Swift - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRxrwjOtIag

Last Saturday was my final presentation of 'Fragile Bodies: Broken Bonds & Traumatising Treaties' in the Body Architecture course by Studio Filippo Nassetti at PAACADEMY, for which I have been exploring Rhino & Grasshopper and Midjourney & chatGPT. These 3D-modelling practices feel like the artisan craftsmanship of my research project, wherein I can totally dive into the emotional complexities of bodily integrated systems from a 'maker' perspective. #phd #bodily #integrated #systems It was a very steep learning curve for me during weekly classic 4-hour trainings online, and another discovery that I am not a person made to follow design briefs made by others. Still, that doesn't matter now anymore, I am not a designer pur sang. This course has given me the confidence to continue with mixing & mashing up 3D-programs in my spare time, and in a way another return to practices of making. I even miss my online classmates a bit, who are spread all over the world, and with whom I shared quite some Saturday evenings in the last few months.

Today, I enjoyed original ideas from students on bodily interactions, when they explored the idea of dancing in XR. Starting off with a mini-lecture on Game Feel (by Steve Swink), I let them explore & prototype and presentations led to doing a pirouette, crawling (a little bit) with the body, sweeping arms, exchanging body parts, silhouette & postures playing out. #digital #physical #craftsmanship #design #space #bodily #integrated #systems #VR #AR #XR It’s nice to see them & me evolve towards a design space that supports the exploration of interactions with the body, something that is not easy to create amongst students. I need to open up as well to them in order to make them feel safe in moving around with their bodies, and I think that is one of the best things I learn by doing. The quality of bodily interactions is essential for designing future products that deal with body enhancements and pervasive forms of technology. It is nice to have these kinds of educational practices besides my phd-efforts. It’s enjoyable and experimental and comfortable now most of the time. And I get to play 90s music videos again ;) which shows the history of the 'digitally every thing'. I love music videos!

"Bodies matter not because we live in them, but because the experiences that constitute the self are always embodied.

Homeless women Don't wear Prada: The geographies of beauty standards and the bodies of homeless women - by Harriet Earle-Brown - https://compass.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gec3.12620 #embodiment #contestedbodies #liminalstate #bodilydoubt

This paper outlines some of the recent work on homelessness and homeless women, reflecting on how gender and the body intersect to create a unique set of circumstances which results in the marginalisation of homeless women. Framing the paper around beauty standards for women, it examines how homeless women's bodies transgress in both their body appearance as well as the ways their bodies exist, perform, and move through space.
