Celebration of Finitude as a Post-Industrial Aesthetics of Interaction

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This paper elaborates on design visions for computing, by attending to the values expressed in ideals around post-industrial ways of living. Such ideals highlight finitude not only as a challenge to overcome, but as an aesthetic quality, captured by notions of preciousness. We discuss three themes: to embrace possibilities within limits, to resist fantasies of unlimited power, and welcoming complexity as an inherent feature of the living.
