Who will live with the social consequences of your designs? And, who will live with the consequences of the consequences? In this lecture, Dr. Forlano will examine the social consequences of design and consider what it means to live well with machines. Drawing on her own experiences as a “disabled cyborg” and nearly two decades of research in design and related fields—including critical disability studies, critical computing, critical creative practice, and critical pedagogy—Forlano reflects on how emerging technologies shape everyday life. Through a range of examples, she will explore approaches for interrogating the social consequences of design through relational, performative, and experiential engagements with data and computation. Ultimately, the lecture invites reflection on who gets to decide what it means to be human, and who we will become as a species.
