Comput.

While often providing solutions to societal issues, interactive technologies also many times contribute to them. They impact and are impacted by the world, in a process of continuous mutual influence and co-constitution that raises important implications not only to user experience, effectiveness and efficiency, but also to ethics, social responsibility and environmental health. In this article, I draw on the new materialism notion of intra-action to propose a conceptual shift to a relational approach for HCI, which I refer to as Human-Computer Intra-Action (HCIA), capable of capturing from the outset the inherent relationships with the world that inform the design of interactive technology. To that end, I propose the notion of relationalities to reflect the synergies and antagonisms around those relationships, and discuss emerging notions of spatiality and temporality by considering the increasing hybridity of socio-technical engagements both in space (local vs. remote) and in time (immediate vs. stretched). Based on that, I propose a preliminary method for mapping intra-actions associated to interactive technologies, envisaged as a starting point to a relational take on their design process.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcomp.2023.1083800","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,11]],"date-time":"2023-08-11T12:46:42Z","timestamp":1691758002000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Human-computer intra-action: a relational approach to digital media and technologies"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Luke","family":"Hespanhol","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","first-page":"67","article-title":"\u201cBeyond imperial tools: future-proofing technology through indigenous governance and traditional knowledge systems,\u201d","author":"Abdilla","year":"2018","journal-title":"Decolonising the Digital: Technology as Cultural Practice"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/20539517211025557","article-title":"Controversing the datafied smart city: conceptualising a \u2018making-controversial? approach to civic engagement","author":"Baibarac-Duignan","year":"2021","journal-title":"Big Data Soc"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.2307\/j.ctv12101zq","volume-title":"Meeting the Universe Halfway: Quantum Physics and the Entanglement of Matter and Meaning","author":"Barad","year":"2007"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"675","DOI":"10.1145\/1978942.1979041","article-title":"\u201cTowards a feminist HCI methodology: social science, feminism, and HCI,\u201d","volume-title":"Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems","author":"Bardzell","year":"2011"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2083","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chb.2012.06.012","article-title":"Texting while driving on automatic: considering the frequency-independent side of habit","volume":"28","author":"Bayer","year":"2012","journal-title":"Comput.
