@proxyjesse | hi/at/jesse-benjamin.com | Résumé

Drawing from my design training, I integrate design research with philosophical analyses to unfold phenomena associated with emerging technologies; such as sense-making practices, design affordances, and how in particular technologies transform the appearance of the world and the things and people in it. I particularly enjoy deep dives into the past and present trajectories of technologies such as AI, and what traces from these tell us about the future such technologies will bring about. I publish at and review for ACM CHI, DIS, CSCW and GROUP; and am a member of ACM as well as the Society for Philosophy of Technology. Currently, I’m a PhD candidate in Philosophy of Technology at the University of Twente.
