In our interconnected world, connectivity aesthetics deeply influence our interactions with data, AI, and associated products and services. This workshop aims to explore innovative approaches, methodologies, and technologies that integrate connectivity into design considerations to further empower individuals through aesthetics. By delving into the aesthetic aspects of connectivity, we aim to foster discussions and collaborations among researchers, practitioners, designers, artists, and industry professionals. This workshop serves as a platform for sharing insights, exchanging ideas, and exploring emerging trends in this dynamic field.

To effectively implement existing approaches and fully utilize the empowering potential of connectivity aesthetics, we invite research papers on various topics related to this workshop, including discussions on aesthetics of connectivity for empowerment in HCI, sharing practical cases, and identifying potential research directions and methodologies. Workshop participants are encouraged to submit full research papers related to “connectivity, aesthetics, and empowerment” for peer review. Accepted papers will be presented and discussed during the workshop, with at least one author required to register and attend.
