Work of the Future

Remote and hybrid work has received significant attention in the last years in both academic and industrial contexts, especially due to the COVID-19 pandemic and attendant lockdown. Some of the remaining challenges in current remote technologies include limited embodiment, hierarchy and agency issues, and significant technological limitations. In this workshop, we will, together with the participants, explore how to design socio-technical systems that connect people and artefacts during collaborative activities. The workshop will use provocations, artefacts, and group work to imagine the futures of work with a focus on hybrid work practices.
