The School of Computing and Information Systems of The University of Melbourne invites you to join them at the 2024 Cybernetics Futures Showcase. This exhibition features over 30 physical computing prototypes made by the Designing Novel Interactions students that examine the future relationships between natural and technological systems. By reimagining both existing systems and speculative new ones, they present not only design solutions but also problems and perspectives that need our immediate attention.

As part of their master’s program, computing students are encouraged to break free from the screen, mouse and keyboard to utilise a range of techniques from embedded systems, wearable electronics, digital fabrication, interactive methodologies and more to extend their practice and build technologies intentionally and critically for the future we want to see.

Designing Novel Interactions is led by Mel Huang, Dr Antony Chacon, Dr Adelaide Genay and Dr Arzoo Atiq from School of Computing and Information Systems, Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology, The University of Melbourne.

This event is supported by the mentorship and guidance of Science Gallery Melbourne and Telstra Creator Space.
