This paper explores the temporal dimensions of biobased material design through three biodesigned artifacts: myco-electronics, biofoam for tangible interaction, and dissolving wearables. Each case study demonstrates how material temporality, influenced by factors like fabrication techniques and material properties, affects both the design process and user experience. Myco-electronics, grown from mycelium, rely on the timing of harvesting to shape form, and function of the biodesigned artifact. Biofoam, made through traditional methods like molding, offers designers more control over its shape and physical properties such as density. Dissolving wearables emphasize intentional ephemerality, with the material purposefully dissolving to reveal hidden designs, engaging users with impermanence. The concept of temporality is closely tied to sustainability, material tunability, and user interaction. Biobased materials often have shorter lifecycles, but their biodegradable nature enhances sustainability. Designers can tune materials like mycelium and biofoam by manipulating factors such as environmental conditions or fabrication methods, offering design flexibility. Using a research-through-design methodology, the paper emphasizes reflective practice and material-driven design, where both designer and material share agency in the creative process. Key findings show that temporality shapes both the creation and experience of biodesigned artifacts. These materials, whether they grow, transform, or dissolve, allow users to engage with artifacts in ways that reflect natural life cycles. The study concludes that embracing the temporality of biobased materials enriches the user experience and promotes a sustainable, dynamic approach to biodesign.

Reading the Threadbrings together artists, theorists and designers to explore the nature and use of cloth as a means of record and communication. Cloth is constructed from threads and, in acknowledging its qualities of recording or communicating a story, we are reading the threads – the read thread. There is also, however, an East Asian myth that when you are born you are linked by an invisible red thread to your soul mate; no matter what you do, this red thread connects you to your fate and, although the thread may become tangled or infinitely long, it will never break. Exploring histories of making and cultural practices, a multidisciplinary team of international scholars use the metaphorical thread to link the experiences of cloth production, lineage practices, contemporary challenges and sustainable futures, and to explore, through imagery and ideas, the agency of cloth to shape and communicate the sensations and emotions connected with human experience. Divided into four sections on reading cloth, challenging the stories it tells, following the thread of its narrative and finally anticipating its future,The Read Threadallows a variety of viewpoints and a diversity of voices, without favouring theory or specific cultural approaches, to interrogate cloth as a record of experience within its social, historical, psychological and cultural context; the authors explore our encounters with cloth and its role in the exploration of identity and biography, representative of passage, exchange, life and death. Provocative and timely, and beautifully illustrated with over 50 color images, it is vital reading for students and scholars of textiles, fashion, material culture, art and anthropology.

... A weft yarn is passed back and forth through a channel in the warp, which is created when different harnesses are lifted, creating the woven fabric over time. notation, Fig. 3), therefore presents an opportunity for the creation of intelligent, multi-layered textiles through variations in yarn architecture by modulating properties such as yarn material, twists per inch, and crosssectional organization 5,8,[21][22][23] . Fabric architecture can be further altered by modifying the interlacing of yarns as structural patterns 17,18,[24][25][26][27] . ...

... Recently, HCI researchers have adopted methods and techniques from adjacent fields, such as material science and biodesign, to utilize unique material properties to enable interactions. Biomaterials for wearables have been explored as substrate materials [10,20,27,44], conductive traces [19,24,51], electronic components [17,40], and biochemical sensors [35,37]. In comparison to conventional systems, wearables that integrate such biomaterials not only offer possibilities for unique aesthetics and interactions but also have less material waste at the end of life. ...

... Weaving [9,18,22,30,90,102,118] and knitting [2,37,85,114] enable structural-level integration of interactive elements. Weaving intersects yarns perpendicularly on a loom, making it ideal for integrated circuits [9,21,22], touch surfaces [87,90,119,137], morphing interfaces [104], and textile displays [8,18,19]. ...

... Stemming from the SID principles and material life cycles, there has been a surge of unmaking practices in HCI [95,103] that present new ways to achieve circularity. Notable practices include disassembling objects [61,72], recycling and upcycling e-waste [50,51,63,65], unraveling and undyeing textiles [11,120], and biodegrading and dissolving biomaterials [7,8,57]. These unmaking practices not only speak to the literal unmaking of materials for circular re-use, but promote a more metaphorical unmaking of current design values [95]. ...

... Drawing inspiration from the filters used in social media and online meeting platforms [99], researchers explored the application of visual filters in everyday augmented reality settings [22]. For example, by attaching AR markers onto clothing, users can see animated or interactive elements superimposed onto their physical attire [49,71,100]. Additionally, mobile AR technology enables the digital modification of the appearance of physical jewelry and clothing, allowing users to experiment with different colors, patterns, and designs in real-time [41,86,98,100]. ...

... While there are numerous artists that have engaged with 3D printing clay, a few notable practitioners include Piotr Wásinowski [113], Jolie Ngo [74], Bryan Czibesz [31], Unfold Studios [107], and Slip Rabbit Studios [93]. This natural combination of creative practice and digital fabrication with clay, also highlights the broader rise in collaborations between artists and HCI researchers with the advent of experimental art residences [34]; which is reflected in several recently published works that showcase the outcomes of collaborations between HCI researchers and ceramic artists [17,45,90,118]. Beyond clay 3D printing, we also recognize other ceramics research in HCI which has focused on developing hybrid fabrication methods for sculpting clay [36,87], software for slab-form pottery [54], glazing techniques [38,70,100,118], and critical insights into humans-technology relationships via ceramic objects [110,111]. ...

... For example, Andersen et al. (2019) discuss how digital tools can enrich human-material interactions, and Sørensen et al. (2022) illustrate how craft mastery in areas like knitting can bridge physical and digital expertise-an approach that aligns with the project's goal to uphold the values of traditional craftsmanship. Digital tools in this context can act as "co-producers" (Devendorf, Wu, and Friske 2023), actively participating in the creative process. While this study emphasises co-creative interaction over direct material manipulation, future applications could integrate tactile interfaces (Gowrishankar, Bredies, and Ylirisku 2017) to further support experiential learning. ...

... While CNC cutting and 3D printing have recently started to emerge in jewellery production (mainly to reduce manual labour and improve precision [9]), the unique characteristics of interactive jewellery call for these tools to be used in novel ways. A growing body of work on hybrid crafting has explored methods for integrating technology with traditional crafts, such as stained glass [17], embroidery [22], and ceramics [56]. Nearly a decade ago, Tsaknaki et al. [47] explored how traditional crafting practices and materials can inform interactive jewellery design, analysing the aesthetic gestalt of conventional jewellery. ...

... It is important to understand craftsmanship in computational design practices to ensure that new technologies enhance creative processes. The recent literature mainly focuses on developing pedagogies for digital craftsmanship (Cheatle & Jackson, 2023;Song, 2022;Tyler-Wood, 2022), integrating computational methodologies with traditional craft (Devendorf et al., 2023;Melnyk, 2020;Torres et al., 2016), implementing traditional crafts in the context of digital fabrication (Hansen, 2021;Shi et al., 2019;Van Der Veen et al., 2019), and situating computational design within craftsmanship (Noel et al., 2021). Although these studies provide valuable insights into digital craftsmanship by mainly examining the contributions of computational tools and methodologies, they often do not distinguish craftsmanship from mere technical proficiency in computational design. ...
