“…Following the DIY tradition in science, playful explorations to understand microbial have led to experiments involving agar plate inoculation [13,44]; experimental fermentation using live microbial cultures [27] and the creation of biotic games using live biome and computation to name a few [45,49,[58][59][60]. These works offer a dive into the microbial realm and explore various species that can be beneficial or harmful to the human body, making interesting and playful narratives for understanding the microbial world.…”

Our gastrointestinal health is influenced by complex interactions between our gut bacteria and multiple external factors. A wider understanding of these concepts is vital to help make gut-friendly decisions in everyday life; however, its complexity can challenge public understanding if not approached systematically. Research suggests that board games can help to playfully navigate complex subjects. We present Gooey Gut Trail (GGT), a board game to help players understand the multifactorial interactions that influence and sustain gut microbial diversity. Through the embodied enactment of in-game activities, players learn how their habits surrounding diet, physical activity, emotions, and lifestyle influence the gut microbial population. A qualitative field study with 15 participants revealed important facets of our game design that increased participants' awareness, causing them to reflect upon their habits that influence gut health. Drawing upon the study insights, we present five design considerations to aid future playful explorations on nurturing human-microbial relationships.

“…We borrowed this method due to its well-documented history of use in academic research, including those within HCI. These include peer-reviewed publications that 1) guide the crafting process of speculation [2]; 2) illustrate a workshop format implementing design fiction techniques (e.g., [20], [17]), 3) demonstrate in-the-wild case studies of design fiction in action (e.g., [5,11,13,18,21]); and 4) offer evaluation frameworks to constructively assess the validity of design outcomes (e.g., [3,4]). These will serve as useful references to fine tune the workshop delivery, to position and meaningfully assess the outcomes in the context of existing HCI research, and to extend the field with our outputs.…”

Continuing developments in DNA-based digital data storage systems promise us a sustainable, techno-utopian future; propositioning bio-digital solutions addressing the ever-increasing global data production, and inadequacies of conventional storage infrastructure to meet the demand. Distinct attributes of DNA make it an attractive archival medium. With its ability to retain high density of digital information cheaply, and to do so over multi-lifespans, DNA-based storage systems are seen as able to radically shape how we archive and use data, across wide-ranging applications. However, while the stakeholders continue to refine and race towards commercialization of the emerging technology, its sociocultural and ethical implications remain unexplored, limiting opportunities to generate insights on how such systems could be better designed and experienced. This workshop begins to explore what our DNA-mediated archival futures may hold. We learn about the fundamental principles governing the new technology and create stories about its pervasion in our lives, mediated through design fiction and structured discourse. CCS CONCEPTS• Human-centered computing → Human computer interaction (HCI); • Information systems → Information storage technologies; • Hardware → Emerging technologies.
