History of Computing: Epistemology of Computing Interfaces (Seminar)

Inhalt: In this seminar, we will explore the concept of the “interface” historically and theoretically. By looking at ideas and visions from various fields (tech, arts, military-industrial complex), we will try to get a handle on the influences that shaped the notion over the years. Furthermore, we want to disentangle how interfaces relate to other – preceding and/or neighbouring – concepts of human-computer interaction (e.g. augmented reality, simulation, telepresence, immersion, …). The texts we will discuss range from research papers to vision statements to (popular) literature and media theory. Some of these texts will be treated as historic documents in the sense that they will offer us an insight into the discourses and debates of certain moments in time, others will offer theoretical perspectives through which to think about the interface. – – – – – – – – – – – – – REQUIREMENTS 25%-ASSIGNMENT: * In this seminar, there won't be presentations.
