“…Designerly contributions make specific assumptions about bodies along two conceptualisations. For one, they designate deviant bodies as potential sites for intervention and reflection, bodies that need to be "put in shape" and 'corrected' (e.g., [8,85,124]). These are in stark contrast to bodies being admired for movements appreciated as feats (e.g., [103]) or artistic expression (e.g., [86]).…”

“…Additionally, some papers assume technologies as superior to 'the lived body' in that they might guide bodies into developing appropriate skills [132], disregarding potentially ambiguous and individually differing body signals in favour of providing numerical representations as communication starters [128] or translating bodily signals more generally [35]. 8 I use the word fat as a neutral descriptor. For more on this, please consider [109].…”

“…Unmarked norms in these works include a dominance of whiteness (across all 45 papers, only one [86] depicts a black body), (traditionally cis-male) flat-chestedness, slim bodies, presumably being reasonably well-off financially, and absence of any kind of disability. Only the 'minority body' [12] is marked, for example by being made explicit and assessed as a source in need of correction (e.g., [8]) towards a loosely defined unspecific norm.…”

In the few decades since the first mainframe computers, computing technologies have grown smaller, and more pervasive, moving onto and even inside human bodies. Even as those bodies have received increased attention by scholars, designers, and technologists, the bodily expectations and understandings articulated by these technological artefacts have not been a focus of inquiry in the field. I conducted a feminist content analysis on select papers in the proceeding of the ACM International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction (TEI) since its inception in 2007. My analysis illustrates how artefacts are implicitly oriented on unmarked bodily norms, while technologies designed for nonnormative bodies treat those as deviant and in need of correction. Subsequently, I derive a range of provocations focused on material bodies in embodied interaction which offer a point of reflection and identify potentials for future work in the field. CCS CONCEPTS• Human-centered computing → HCI theory, concepts and models; Interaction design theory, concepts and paradigms; • Social and professional topics → User characteristics.

This paper presents our early exploratory work investigating if and how motorbike riders would engage with visual cues on lower-back posture to adjust their body posture while riding and in turn prevent lower back injuries due to physical stress. The design exploration reported is part of a larger series of investigations looking into the broader notion of integrating measures for preventive self-care with existing everyday activities (e.g daily motorcycle commute) by means of digital technology. We are guided by the concept of embodied self-monitoring grounded in theories on the embodied and circumstantial nature of human actions, a construct previously used to guide design oriented research in the domain of out-of-clinic physical rehabilitation. We follow a research-through-design approach with the sketching of user experience as our primary mode of inquiry as we look to expand opportunities for interaction design in the domain of preventive self-care. We report on the outcome of in-situ enactments performed by four motorbike riders as co-explorers engaging with our interactive soft&hardware sketches while actually riding in traffic. Insitu enactments and follow-up interviews with the riders encourage us to a) further elaborate our interactive sketches for motorbike commuting and b) further investigate more broadly the design of digital technology in support of preventive self-care as an integrated part of mundane activities such as, in the case at hand, the daily motorcycle commute.
