我们这个日益以科技为媒介的世界继续给设计带来挑战。考虑到这些，我们认为我们周围的数字产品和服务都被“机器里的幽灵”所困扰。这些幽灵在物理和数字之间架起了桥梁，它们调解了相互竞争的关系，并生活在数据流中，这些数据流像算法海洋一样凝聚在一起，导致物理代理的沉淀。从这个角度来看，现代网络技术机器中的幽灵代表了设计师与他们创造的产品和服务之间具有挑战性的关系的各个方面。新兴的后人类中心理论为应对这些挑战提供了概念性的“起点”。在本文中，我们描述了反映和建立这些理论的实验。通过这些，我们探索了可访问启发式的可能基础，以帮助有目的的设计师理解21世纪技术组合中常见的困难的社会技术复杂性。
Our increasingly technologically-mediated world continues to pose challenges for design. Considering these we suggest that the digital products and services that surround us are haunted by ‘ghosts in the machine’. These spectres bridge the physical with the digital, they broker competing relationships, and live among streams of data which cohere as algorithmic oceans causing precipitation of physical agency. Cast in this light, the ghosts in the machines of modern networked technologies represent aspects of designers’ challenging relationships with the products and services they create. An emerging body of Post Anthropocentric theory offers conceptual ‘jumping-off’ points to engage with these challenges. In this paper we describe experiments that reflect and build on these theories. Through these we explore the possible foundations of accessible heuristics to aid in purposeful designerly apprehension of the difficult socio-technical complexities that are common among 21st century technological assemblages.
