Workshop: Creatives with Unseen Disabilities] (CUD)

Karina Dukalska came in to give a workshop. I was pretty excited for this event, not only...

for its relevance within xpub,

the insights it might yield to better facilitate our group conversations (remember: emotional labour)

and its relation with the response some of us had after the SI22 release event at Worm,

but also

for its connections to GMT and interaction technology as a whole

(multimodal interaction, controller design, serious games, designing for disabilities)

and

because I must be confronted with an personal internal conflict I have not been acknowledging.

I am reminded that I once advised myself to always have a book of Elaine Aron on sensory processing sensitivity on my shelf. It is not there. Lately (lately) I have been dreading the unescapability of constant sensory overload more and more, not just mental, but physical, too, my eyes receive so much light, why won't my calves untense? At the start of the day, we were asked to express our needs at that moment in a subgroup. I was unable to. It's maybe my main takeaway of today:

Noticing a feeling, an obstacle or uncomfortableness is very different from noticing, formulating and voicing a need.

These seem to represent the bounds within which my whole spectrum of inexpertise is situated.

We were divided into subgroups once more, to discuss specific technologies and create the beginnings of templates to be used to facilitate certain needs when using these technologies. I had the pleasure of working with Chae! But there was so much to discuss.

100% accessibility does not exist.

After the workshop, I asked Karina about her feelings on AI. I've found myself to be hopeful once more. 100% accessibility does not exist... if there is a human design bottleneck. An AI powered service could tailor to an individual's needs with much more rigour, without it potentially being incompatible with another individual's needs.

Once again, I feel insecure about my wiki. What am I saying? Where's the poetry?
