“…Research into public views on good data management is therefore needed, so that these can be factored in to future data policy and practice. Yet to date, public attitudes to data management have rarely been examined, and when they have, research has focused narrowly on user feedback on specific models under development or on fictional scenarios (Sailaja et al, 2019). For this reason, our paper focuses specifically on data management, as opposed to other data practices such as data generation, collection, analysis and sharing.…”

Public perceptions of good data management: Findings from a UK-based survey

et al. 2020

Low levels of public trust in data practices have led to growing calls for changes to data-driven systems, and in the EU, the General Data Protection Regulation provides a legal motivation for such changes. Data management is a vital component of data-driven systems, but what constitutes ‘good’ data management is not straightforward. Academic attention is turning to the question of what ‘good data’ might look like more generally, but public views are absent from these debates. This paper addresses this gap, reporting on a survey of the public on their views of data management approaches, undertaken by the authors and administered in the UK, where departure from the EU makes future data legislation uncertain. The survey found that respondents dislike the current approach in which commercial organizations control their personal data and prefer approaches that give them control over their data, that include oversight from regulatory bodies or that enable them to opt out of data gathering. Variations of data trusts – that is, structures that provide independent stewardship of data – were also preferable to the current approach, but not as widely preferred as control, oversight and opt out options. These features therefore constitute ‘good data management’ for survey respondents. These findings align only in part with principles of good data identified by policy experts and researchers. Our findings nuance understandings of good data as a concept and of good data management as a practice and point to where further research and policy action are needed.

“…For example, the 'Living Room of the Future' explores the future of media production and smart devices where "media content adapts in response to user data collected from IoT devices situated in the living room and the adaptation, in turn, actuates connected devices (e.g., speakers, lights, window blinds, heating, etc.) in order to enable the media experience to reach beyond the screen into the living room" [36]. The project makes explicit the acts of requesting and collecting data about the users, but then stores it on a 'Databox' [15] that physically situates the data with the user, giving them control over access to it and responding to concerns regarding privacy, trust and control within data-driven media.…”

Entangled Ethnography: Towards a collective future understanding

In this work, we develop a vision for entangled ethnography, where constellations of people, artefacts, algorithms and data come together to collectively make sense of the relations between people and objects. This is grounded in New Materialism's picture of a world understood through entanglement, through resonant constellations, through a multiplicity of unique individual viewpoints and their relationships. These perspectives are especially relevant for design ethnography, in particular for research around smart connected products, which collect data about their environment, the networks they are a part of, and the ways they are used. However, we are concerned about the current trend of many connected systems towards surveillance capitalism, as data is colonised, machinations are hidden, and a narrow definition of value is extracted. There is a key tension that while design, particularly of networked objects, attempts to go beyond human centeredness, the infrastructures that support it are moving towards a less than human perspective in their race to accumulate and dispossess. Our work tries to imagine the situations where participants in networked systems are richly engaged, rather than exploited. We hope for a future where human agency is central to a respectful and acceptable collaborative development of understanding. CCS CONCEPTS • Human-centered computing → Human computer interaction (HCI).

“…Focusing on the living room, as literature suggests [8], inhabitants spend a large portion of their time watching TV, even in conjunction with various daily activities (e.g., socializing with family and friends, relaxing). By exploiting its ambient facilities [18,29], such an environment should (i) enhance the content of the main screen, (ii) simplify interaction by applying multiple modalities, and (iii) personalize content delivery based on user preferences.…”

This work aims to investigate how the amenities offered by Intelligent Environments can be used to shape new types of useful, exciting and fulfilling experiences while watching sports or movies. Towards this direction, two ambient media players were developed aspiring to offer live access to secondary information via the available displays of an Intelligent Living Room, and to appropriately exploit the technological equipment so as to support natural interaction. Expert-based evaluation experiments revealed some factors that can influence the overall experience significantly, without hindering the viewers' immersion to the main media.
