Abstract: This Gallery proposal focuses on the debris left behind by human's daily interactions with non‐human agents, with the end goal of providing arts‐infused lenses to investigate and help untangle our complex relationships with smart systems. Debris is the outcome of a process that intermingles ethnographic tactics with design probing techniques and artistic practice. The Debris – a series of art pieces resulting from this process – are offered to the EPIC 2019 community alongside artefacts that were used to inform art pieces: ethnographic data collected during the interviews, probing toolkit used to augment interview data, and the thought process of the two involved ethnographers/designers/artists, in the form of notes and sketches. This collection of art pieces, objects, visual commentaries, humans‐about‐machines accounts represent the fragments that are left behind by human interactions with smart agents ‐ we offer them to prompt reflections, re‐connections, and re‐discoveries of human‐non‐human hybrid landscapes.
