In recent years, perhaps stimulated by the growing awareness of the power of digital technologies, there have been calls for engineers and designers to advance values ‘by design’, such as democracy, participation, privacy and transparency. This builds on earlier inclusive design and access-for-all initiatives. But not all encounters with technologies are fulfilling, and some are designed to exclude or harm people, animals and nature. This workshop focuses on those technologies that could be described as hostile or exclusionary by design.
The workshop is supported by the Maastric...

Seeking to go beyond (but not leaving aside) the focus on security artefacts as objects of remembering, this project is interested in repurposing, adapting, and reu...
