Counter Interfaces
About the Workshop
Intuitively we scroll, swipe, use our voice and gestures to control our devices, – to activate, trigger, cause, provoke the computer to deploy, react, return and activate. The question we will investigate through making is: Who is exactly controlling who and how?
During this hands-on workshop we investigated ways to take apart and reassemble remote controllers and other battery powered toys in unintended ways. By saving redundant electronics from becoming e-waste we hacked our way into the mechanics of human computer interaction and user interfaces. At the same time we learned about electronics all the while critically reflecting on the notion of control.
