The workshop will take place virtually on 26.10.2020 from 10:00 to 15:00 (CET). It will be held in Zoom and you can take part using either the Zoom-application or from your browser. Additionally we will make use of the whiteboard-tool Miro. Just like Zoom, Miro can be used from the browser or using the desktop app. Links to the call and the whiteboard will be shared with registered participants shortly before the workshop.
We're thrilled to announce that Andreas Muxel will hold a keynote at the workshop, showcasing a creative perspective on designing counterparts.

Andreas Muxel: Robother - Non-trivial Interactions with Trivial Machines
Andreas Muxel is Professor for Physical Human-Machine Interfaces at the University of Applied Sciences Augsburg where he founded and directs the HYBRID THINGS LAB. In his work he is always looking for a poetical and engaging way of interaction with things, regardless of whether they are hardware or software. He creates hybrid artifacts and spaces for all senses blurring the boundaries between the rational and the irrational. His projects have been shown internationally (e.g. Ars Electronica Festival Linz, FILE Festival São Paulo, TodaysArt Festival Brussels) and awarded (e.g. Honorary Mention Prix Ars Electronica, VIDA Award, Share Prize). From 2013 to 2017 he was Professor for Interface / Interaction Design at the Köln International School of Design, University of Applied Sciences Cologne.11:00 Contributions
