Harnessing the digital records of everyday things (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Darzentas, D. P., Hazzard, A., Brown, M. J. I., Flintham, M., & Benford, S. (2016). Harnessing the digital records of everyday things.

We address how, framed by the Internet of Things, digitally-enabled physical objects may acquire rich digital records throughout their lifetimes, and how these might enhance their value, meaning and utility. We reflect on emerging findings from two c... Read More about Harnessing the digital records of everyday things.

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Benford, S., Hazzard, A., Chamberlain, A., Glover, K., Greenhalgh, C., Xu, L., …Darzentas, D. (2016). Experiencing the Carolan Guitar. In CHI EA '16: Proceedings of the 2016 CHI Conference Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems (3651-

Carolan is an acoustic guitar that has been decorated with interactive patterns that can be scanned using a mobile camera so as to connect to a digital record of how the instrument was made, where it has been and who has played it. Carolan was create... Read More about Experiencing the Carolan Guitar.

Accountable Artefacts: The Case of the Carolan Guitar (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Benford, S., Hazzard, A., Chamberlain, A., Glover, K., Greenhalgh, C., Xu, L., …Darzentas, D. (2016). Accountable Artefacts: The Case of the Carolan Guitar. In CHI '16: Proceedings of the 2016 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (1163-

We explore how physical artefacts can be connected to digital records of where they have been, who they have encountered and what has happened to them, and how this can enhance their meaning and utility. We describe how a travelling technology probe... Read More about Accountable Artefacts: The Case of the Carolan Guitar.

Interdisciplinary Reflections on Games and Human Values (2015)

We explore the interaction between digital games and human values. HCI as a field is increasingly focused on the importance of engaging with broader discussions around human values. Games are an ideal medium for reflecting on social, ethical and poli... Read More about Interdisciplinary Reflections on Games and Human Values.

The Data Driven Lives of Wargaming Miniatures (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Darzentas, D. P., Brown, M. A., Flintham, M., & Benford, S. (2015). The Data Driven Lives of Wargaming Miniatures. In CHI '15: Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (2427-2436). https://doi.org/10.1145/27021

We present an ethnographic study of the practice of miniature wargaming in order to shed light onto the complex lives of physical things and the ways in which they acquire data footprints. We take an extended view of the practice, revealing how peopl... Read More about The Data Driven Lives of Wargaming Miniatures.
