<b>When constraints of embodied cognition become porous: performances of sensory interactivity in design</b><br />
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract: In design processes, the concept of the embodied mind can be mobilized to consider the ways in which our bodily experiences and actions affect our perception of space. With this focus in mind, what happens when human–environment interactivity ceases to be a utilitarian exchange between an evolving, sensing body and a predetermined object, but becomes conductive, generative, adaptive, and learns to grow? Perhaps in that moment of interaction and touch the space affects embodied action and perception in turn? These questions were pursued in a series of Practice-as-Research experiments by advanced designers in training from four disciplines at the University of Calgary: technical theatre, computational media and design, architecture, and sonic arts. The aim of the group’s work is to make design experientially accessible as an affective process with the ability to render porous the bodily constraints of human cognition. Here, the designers share insights, ideas, and obstacles from their collaborative research process. Keywords: Interactive design. Embodied cognition. Agent based modelling. Tangible computing. Collaborative creation. QUANDO AS LIMITAÇÕES DA COGNIÇÃO CORPORIFICADA SE TORNAM POROSAS: PERFORMANCES DE INTERATIVIDADE SENSORIAL NO DESIGN Resumo: Nos processos de design, o conceito de mente corporificada pode ser mobilizado para considerar as maneiras pelas quais nossas experiências e ações corporais afetam nossa percepção do espaço. Com este foco em mente, o que acontece quando a interatividade humano-ambiente deixa de ser uma troca utilitária entre um corpo evolutivo, sensível e um objeto predeterminado, mas se torna condutor, gerador, adaptável e aprende a crescer? Talvez nesse momento de interação e toque, o espaço, por sua vez, afete a ação e a percepção corporificada? Essas questões foram perseguidas em uma série de experimentos de prática-como-pesquisa por designers avançados em treinamento de quatro disciplinas na Universidade de Calgary: técnica em teatro, mídia computacional e design, arquitetura e artes sonoras. O objetivo do trabalho do grupo é tornar o design experiencialmente acessível como um processo afetivo com a capacidade de tornar porosas as restrições corporais da cognição humana. Aqui, os designers compartilham insights, ideias e obstáculos de seu processo de pesquisa colaborativa. Palavras-chave: Design. Interação performativa. Cognição corporificada.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
