CHI 2020 Workshop: Understanding the Past, Present, and Future of Design Fictions (Deadline: 2/10)

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION:

CHI 2020 Workshop: Understanding the Past, Present, and Future of Design Fictions

Despite its increasing prevalence and importance in HCI, the term “design
fiction” is used in a number of different ways for different goals. With
design fiction reaching a critical mass in the CHI community, this is an
opportune moment for reflection and agenda-setting.
This workshop will address major questions for design fictions:

 - What can we learn from those who have created speculative and critical
 fictions before us? How can we understand the “who” politics of design
 fictions – i.e., how can we create more inclusive authorship of design
 fictions? We hope to construct an inclusive taxonomy of design fictions.
 - While the method of creating design fictions seems simple – “just
 write a fiction!” – there are now multiple approaches to the creation of
 design fictions, with roots in humanities, politics, collaboration, and
 design. We hope to provide a taxonomy of diverse methods for design
 fictions.
 - Design fictions have entered the SIGCHI literature as archival
 contributions. How are reviewers evaluating design fiction submissions?
 There may be no unitary “right way” to review these diverse genres. We hope
 to develop a set of pluralistic review guidelines for these emerging genres.

We invite your submissions as extended abstracts (max. 4 pages). We are
open to diverse submission formats – please contact us to discuss if
needed. Submissions should be emailed to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
and will be peer-reviewed by the organizers based on originality,
relevance, and clarity. Submission acceptance requires that at least one
author registers for and attend the workshop. For details, please see our
