Dr. Janicki will share three more-than-human design projects from Georgia, USA—ranging from wearable designs for toxic land contamination to interactive art installations addressing data center noise pollution. Discover how tangible and embodied interaction can transform complex environmental data into lived, critical experiences.
💡 Speaker Profile| Dr. Sylvia H. Janicki is a designer and design researcher working at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Science and Technology Studies (STS). Currently a Research Scientist at Georgia Tech, her work combines humanistic scholarship with tangible interaction design to explore body-environment relationships, often through a critical disability lens and speculative art-based practices.
