For many people the Internet and computation has become firmly embedded in the fabric of the home. Our agency at home is being challenged; both with changing economic patterns of ownership, and by the home’s automatous behaviors – many at the behest of corporations or governments. This one-day workshop invites participation across HCI practice: designers of technologies that configure space; makers and hackers of the Internet of Things; researchers of behavioral change in the home and those envisaging new forms of domestic space – critically and uncritically. We came together in an AirBnB home to debate this in context and made a short film to document the day.
