Multispecies Response-ability in More-than-human Design Practice
Fabulation with Tides
Conference paper

This workshop invites participants with diverse backgrounds to imagine stories with tides, to explore responseĝ€'ability - a notion used by Donna Haraway to cultivate the capacity to respond with other species. As more HCI communities begin to engage with living entities, we seek to move beyond "responsibility"as a solely human moral property towards relational and reciprocal ways of designing-with them. When the entities we "study"begin to respond to one another, their interactions evolve in ways we cannot fully predict, inviting design practice to stay open and caring for these shifting relations. Using tides as a spatialĝ€'temporal site of inquiry, we will use speculative fabulation to imagine what multispecies responseĝ€'ability might look like in place and collectively develop practical guides for examining and incorporating it into design practice.

Regenerative thinking is gaining momentum in HCI, shifting the focus from merely mitigating environmental harm to actively fostering cohabitation within more-than-human ecosystems. This shift challenges HCI researchers to develop new methodologies that engage with both material and cultural regeneration—harnessing the regenerative capacities of ecologies while preserving valuable knowledge systems. It also underscores the need for a fundamental onto-epistemological shift beyond anthropocentric notions of sustainability. To support HCI researchers in adopting regenerative approaches while addressing these challenges, this panel brings together a diverse group of design researchers working hands-on with materials ranging from biological to algorithmic. Through concrete examples and actionable insights, the panelists provide practical guidance on engaging with regenerative material ecologies. By interweaving multiple perspectives through a diffractive approach, the panel also explores the opportunities this emerging perspective offers for HCI, particularly at the intersection of sustainability, posthumanism, and decoloniality.

Decentering Through Design
Bridging Posthuman Theory with More-than-Human Design Practices
While decentering the human has been a key approach in posthumanist HCI, there are still questions and tensions around it. To address them, we outline emergent notions of decentering, tracing it back from HCI to critical posthumanism and connecting epistemological developments in the humanities to design scholarship. Then, reviewing how decentering is understood and practiced in HCI, we distill five emerging dimensions for articulating more-than-human practices. We conclude by unpacking “decentering through design” as an ongoing material practice through which more-than-human designers not only materialize (apply) posthuman theory but also “make” posthuman knowledge in their own unique ways.
