Abstract

When it comes to strategies governing contemporary technological culture, the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) paradigm is as pervasive and automatic as technology itself. Taking from Michel de Certeau’s distinction between the concepts of strategy and tactics, Ksenia Fedorova analyses a series of transdisciplinary artworks in which computerized operations affecting and transforming human experience are tactically disrupted in order to question technological interfaces mediating HCI. Exposing crossdisciplinary experiments in which affects and deffects are part of the algorithm, Tactics of Interfacing shows precisely in what measure and weight art and technology may contemplate natural and artificial glitches of both human nature and machinic code.

Keywords: Transdisciplinarity, Interfaces, Human-Computer interaction, Affect, Disruptive arts
