ABSTRACT
I propose the concept of expressive surfaces as a research theme to investigate and explore aesthetics of computational objects with its emphasis on forms and materials. In this proposal, I describe some of my preliminary studies to illustrate how the concept has been developed to my research theme. Then exploratory examples of expressive surfaces (the sound-sensitive lamp sculpture and the soft-spiky mouse) are introduced as attempts to specify the theme into a research agenda for computational objects in terms of concept development, prototyping and evaluation.

Articulation, the letter, and the spirit in the aesthetics of narrative
SRMC '04: Proceedings of the 1st ACM workshop on Story representation, mechanism and contextA furthered understanding of the aesthetic aspects of narrative is important to both people and machines who wish to author pleasing narratives. This paper gives an account of the aesthetics of narrative employing the triptych of articulation, the ...
3D Shadow Art Sculpture Based On Real Items
C&C '17: Proceedings of the 2017 ACM SIGCHI Conference on Creativity and CognitionExisting 3D shadow sculptures could be made by 3D printing to generate shadows in 3 or more directions, but a 3D printed sculpture looks too technical and has less artistic feel. This paper develops a unique method and a new tool to create 3D shadow art ...
Beyond Beauty: Towards a Deeper Understanding of Aesthetics in HCI
CHI EA '21: Extended Abstracts of the 2021 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThe word aesthetics, as used in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), tends to refer to visual characteristics of an interface. Furthermore, it is broadly taken to mean beauty, which, while a significant aspect of aesthetics, is not its only concern. ...
