ACCESSTECH was represented at the conference for Designing Interactive Systems, where members of the team co-organised a workshop on techniques for queering data and AI systems.

Each participant brought one or more queering techniques along to discuss in the workshop — our examples, destruction and non-use, were part of a zine we created.

Closeup of the print version and stickers of the 'We want you to stop using AI' zine.  It has flowers and trees and tech symbols enmesched on it, and is a zine by Ekat Osipova and Kay Kender.

We have also made a neat set of stickers for one of our queering techniques!

Inspired by the workshop to make trouble, we spent the conference engaging in mild scholarly vandalism, getting an overview of the design scene in HCI, and scheming about future work with fellow troublemakers.
