- Abstract
The text "Media of Affection: A Conversation about Interfacing Constellations" discusses the concept of "affection" in the context of human-technology relationships. The authors analyze sensor-based digital technologies such as Amazon Echo and SensFloor, which can be considered as media of affection. They examine the directed attention of these technologies and their impact on human-computer relationships. The text emphasizes the ambivalence and complexity of technical attention and discusses the role of companies like Amazon in shaping voice assistant systems. Privacy concerns regarding the users' privacy are addressed, and the need to include the interests of third parties in the analysis of human-machine relationships is emphasized. The text raises the question of how affection manifests in sensor-based technologies and its impact on our lifeworlds. It highlights the importance of sensor-based interface technologies for traditional concepts of human-computer interaction and emphasizes the distributed participation of multiple agencies.
