In recent years, the field of Design and human-computer interaction (HCI) research has expanded to engage with nonhuman perspectives and contexts alongside the human. However, these explorations often remain largely theoretical or small-scale and local. We argue that developing constructive pluriversal perspectives in complex design processes requires more diverse and adventurous experimentation. This one-day workshop explores and proposes methods for pluriversal art and design practice, with methodological guidelines of invoking intuitive and systematic perspective-building within an emphatically relational and social context.
