The “Social Interaction” course explored digitalization and its impact on eco-social transformation. Special attention has been given to tangible technology and its potential to enable or hamper meaningful interactions. We reflected and discussed what lies at the core of meaningful interactions and which approaches trigger dialogue and action between humans and non-humans. After this preliminary reflection phase, we stepped into the making of technology. We learned the various methods and approaches of interaction design, such as envisioning scenarios – which helped us express utopian and dystopian ideas – paper prototyping, prototype testing, and users’ feedback integration.
