Very briefly, I wrack my head around systems whose user interfaces had to be modified as the result of process automation. In most cases, if the cybernetic loop of control and display is being altered, a transformation of the underlying system’s user interface is implicit. In home automation, for example, this has led to the disappearance of well-established interfaces (read: Switches) and now all too often leaves us frustrated [https://www.busch-jaeger.de/fileadmin/_processed_/c/7/csm_Systeme_free%40home_Image_1920x800_108960d603.jpeg]. So I am exploring alternatives to popular but dystopian smart home futures, or: How to teach old switches new tricks. | Very briefly, I wrack my head around systems whose user interfaces had to be modified as the result of process automation.
