Abstract

This workshop invites participants to explore the futures of distributed collaboration in hybrid manufacturing environments through the lens of Design Fiction. Drawing on scenarios inspired by real-life observations in university FabLabs, participants will co-create narrative prototypes in the form of quick-start guides. The workshop interweaves human and technological, tangible and digital dimensions within a postdigital perspective, aligning with the paradigm of ubiquitous learning. It seeks to interrogate the conditions that enable phygital continuity between physical co-presence and remote participation. Aimed at an interdisciplinary community, the workshop invites critical engagement with emerging uses of ubiquitous computing and wearable technologies in collaborative practices.
