About Kelsey Cotton
Kelsey Cotton is a vocalist/artist/mover working with experimental music, Musical Artificial Intelligence, electronic textile, soft-robotics, and Human-Computer Interaction. As a researcher, Kelsey is fascinated with pushing the limits of musical bodies, which has seen her recent work delve deeper into designing artifacts which harness, augment and fuse different physiologies (both physical and digital). Her current work is probing first-person feminist perspectives of musical AI. Kelsey is passionate about somatic interaction, and the potential for intersomatic experiences between fleshy and synthetic bodies. She is currently undertaking PhD studies in Interactive Music and AI at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Host: Shadan Sadeghian
Shadan Sadeghian is a Post-Doc researcher in the department of “Ubiquitous Design / Experience and Interaction” led by Prof. Dr. Marc Hassenzahl at the University of Siegen. She studied computer science at the university of Bonn and RWTH Aachen, and pursued her PhD in Human-Computer Interaction at OFFIS Institute for Information Technology and University of Oldenburg. She has also worked as a PhD scholar in the Max Planck institute in Tübingen and as a Post-Doc researcher at Fraunhofer institute FKIE.
Her research focuses on designing user experience and interaction with automated systems such as Robots, AI-based systems, and automated vehicles. She investigates approaches that balance pragmatic (performance-oriented) and hedonic (experience-oriented) qualities of interacting with automation.
