Title
Scale: human interactions with broken and discarded technologies
Abstract
Scale is an interactive art project created from the detritus of broken and discarded technologies. When the audience steps on a repurposed scale in front of the installation, this not-so-broken world is set in motion, triggering odd functionalities, surprising connections, and sometimes eerie or troubling forms of beauty. Our project explores values and consequence of broken and obsolete technologies -- and the human relationships we form them -- that are often lost under functional and design-centered traditions of HCI research. This paper introduces the background, experience, and technical details of the project.
