Research Products and Time: When, For How Long, And Then What?

This workshop focuses on the temporal dimensions of Research
through Design (RtD) in Human-Computer Interaction. Building
on the success of previous objects of design workshops at CHI, it
explores how time impacts the creation, evolution, and deployment
of design artifacts. Participants will discuss long-term and uncon-
ventional deployments, addressing methodological, ethical, and
organizational challenges. Through hands-on, studio-style critique
and collaborative sessions, the workshop aims to generate insights
into how temporal aspects of design contribute to knowledge pro-
duction. The event will also initiate long-term design deployments,
with findings to be reported at a follow-up workshop in 2026, mark-
ing the 10th anniversary of this series.
