Making Energy Matter: Soma Design for Ethical Relations in Energy Systems
International Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2023 There is a need to reframe our relationship to energy, particularly in Western energy contexts, where we have plentiful access and no meaningful barriers to use. This paper outlines a first-person engagement with energy systems and shows how somaesthetic
