Abstract

A major challenge for developers of tangible, embedded and embodied interfaces is the understanding of dynamic social contexts. To address this challenge, the concept of "social contraptions" is proposed. Social contraptions are interactive installations and performative interventions employed as designerly explorations of social relations.
