Talk:
Bodily Experiences of the Digital

Thursday

How our body treats digital information like physical stuff, information consumption like food consumption, and technical devices like social, living beings.

For many people, the digital world is still hard to grasp. It leaves us cognitively overwhelmed, and bodily unchallenged.
In this session Fabian will develop how our experience of the digital world is metaphorically physical and impacts on our body.
He will demonstrate ways to make us physically embrace the digital world through industrial and interaction design - by giving life to objects based on their digital presence.
Finally, he will raise the fundamental question of whether we want devices that are behaving like humans, or - worse - humans that are becoming robots.
