Topics include: • The need for alternative visions for computing and reasons to be dissatisfied with the current state of software. • Some of the ways HCI research can assist in efforts to reorganize societal structures. • How left-leaning crypto-optimism went from being a central narrative to relatively niche over the last decade. • Integration domains and the need for more cross-pollination between disparate disciplines and communities • The potential for new TfT concepts like Spatial Canvases to push us out of our current siloed, windowed app based local maxima (Check out Orion’s talk on the topic) • Cool developments in AI enabled malleable software like Websim • The difference between ‘ephemeral’ and ‘compostable’ software Artwork: René Magritte, “La Condition Humaine”, 1935
