This one-day workshop seeks to bring together a growing community of HCI scholars interested in designing interaction with computational counterparts (i.e., otherware), such as chatbots, social robots, or complex algorithms beyond naïve anthropomorphism and zoomorphism.

We invite researchers, artists, designers, and technologists to submit a 1-4-page position paper, portfolios, films, artworks, pictorials or other creative pieces that describes their work and interest in cultivating the otherness of computational counterparts, as well as a brief personal bio. We encourage the ACM single-column Review Submission Format, but you are welcome to submit using any format.

Facing the challenges and opportunities of Otherware, the objective of this workshop is to cover tools and methods to explore which attributes contribute to establish and foster alterity relationships, conceptual, ethical and normative issues, application domains, (design) case studies, and other creative approaches. We strongly encourage creatives, designers, and artists to submit their work even if they work is not located in academia.

Contributions will be reviewed by the organizers and evaluated based on their quality and relevance to the workshop. One author of the accepted papers is required to attend the workshop and register for both the workshop and for at least one day of the main conference.

• Contribution deadline: New deadline 10.09.2020 (AoE)
