=======================================================================================================

Outer space is steadily evolving as a site of human-computer interactions.
With the ongoing investments of state and private companies in space
exploration, these interactions and their design are becoming increasingly
crucial for the unfolding of our futures on and beyond the globe. Yet
outside the Earth, our relations with technologies necessitate situational
adjustments, requiring a range of adaptive strategies designed to negotiate
the extreme extra-terrestrial. While the domain of
human-computer-interaction adopted methods from spaceflight as e.g. the
NASA Task Load Index (TLX), in this workshop we especially consider ways in
which the setting of outer space provides a testing ground for new forms of
designing and performing human-computer interactions. Through a range of
examples, we will explore the nuances emerging amidst exchanges between
humans, technologies and space environments, and address them from a range
of different research perspectives.
