Abstract

This workshop will tackle the challenge of designing and configuring money as an interface, exploring and developing an HCI-centred perspective on the nature of money. Money as an interface involves moving beyond classical economic ideas, to focus instead on money as a social technology, on its relational qualities, and on how these could be expressed in design, and configured in context. The workshop will bring together HCI researchers, designers and practitioners, who will submit design contexts in which more configurable, flexible and collaborative forms of money would be desirable or socially meaningful. These contexts will become the design provocations to be addressed together during the workshop. The outcome will be a catalogue of design proposals inspiring future directions for more flexible, configurable, collaborative and relational financial technologies.
