Abstract

What happens when non-human objects enter social media and start imitating social relations with people? Starting from a social networking stance towards connected objects this workshop looks at the challenges of designing for the dualism in objects consisting of a physical thing and a digital representation online, and how we could develop user interaction models that are understandable, liberates from the screens and move out in the physical world.
