Research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) on sustainability has recently exploded. The goal of this project is to guide further development of sustainable HCI by informing research in the area with an understanding of contemporary interventionist eco-art practices. By "interventionist eco-art practices" we are referring to a set of artists and projects that combine public and institutional engagement with a commitment to sustainability, to produce artifacts and systems that intervene in environmental issues to raise awareness and provide models for social change. Through such activities, artists push the boundaries of how we use and think about technology and its relationship to the environment. These interventionist eco-art artists and projects suggest new themes and work practices that could usefully inform sustainable HCI. But because they are born from far outside of the traditional sciences, arts-based approaches run into challenges in being taken up and taken seriously as part of HCI. On the one hand, methods and outcomes deriving from the arts are most easily incorporated into HCI by retro-fitting them to existing understandings of HCI as a scientific discipline in ways that blunt their potential to truly add new perspectives. On the other hand, methods and outcomes that remain true to an arts sensibility can suffer marginal status as "artsy HCI" such arts-based approaches are more likely to be considered acceptable for fringework or one-off systems than to be thought of as appropriate or essential for the core research of HCI. In either case, the "edge" of arts-based approaches, that could provide transformative potential for innovation, is dulled.In this project, groundwork for transdisciplinary engagement between sustainable HCI and interventionist eco-art practices will be laid through an ethnographic case study of interventionist eco-arts practices at the 2010 01 SJ Biennial in San Jose, California to be held September 16 to 19, 2010. The 01SJ Biennial is one of the major international media arts festivals. It attracts tens of thousands of visitors; over 60 artists, designers and collectives are scheduled to participate in the 2010. The theme of 2010 is "Build Your Own World" and the majority of participating projects share a common theme of developing alternative, collaborative and Do-It-Yourself (DIY) approaches social and environmental conditions. As such, it provides a unique opportunity for ethnographic study of a range of projects and practices within a bounded space and timeframe. This research will engage in the following activities (1) observation and analysis of eco-arts projects presented at the 2010 01SJ Biennial; (2) participant-observation in the Biennial as a commissioned art/design collective (3) a project workshop to integrate the results of the first two activities and develop a set of key themes for sustainable HCI (4) follow-on interviews with artists from and the curator of the Biennial.

人类计算机相互作用（HCI）的可持续性研究最近爆炸了。该项目的目的是通过了解当代干预主义生态艺术实践向该领域的研究通知该领域的研究，指导可持续HCI的进一步发展。通过“干预主义生态艺术实践”，我们指的是一组艺术家和项目，这些艺术家和项目将公共和机构参与与对可持续性的承诺相结合，生产工件和系统，以干预环境问题以提高认识并为社会变革提供模型。通过此类活动，艺术家推动了我们如何使用和思考技术及其与环境的关系的界限。这些干预主义的生态艺术家和项目提出了新的主题和工作实践，可以有效地为HCI提供信息。但是，由于它们是从传统科学之外的远方出生的，因此基于艺术的方法在被HCI的一部分中受到认真对待并认真对待。一方面，通过将其恢复为现有的HCI的理解作为科学学科，最容易纳入艺术的方法和结果，以真正添加新观点的潜力，将其视为科学学科。另一方面，作为“ Artsy HCI”此类基于艺术的方法的“ Artsy HCI”更有可能被认为是Fringework或一次性系统可以接受的方法，而不是被认为是适当的，可能会被认为是可以接受的，而不是被认为是适当的，那么对艺术敏感性保持忠实的方法和结果可能会受到边际地位。或对于HCI的核心研究至关重要的。无论哪种情况，基于艺术的方法的“边缘”，可以为创新提供变革性潜力的“边缘”，这是一个愚蠢的。在2010年9月16日至19日举行的2010年SJ双年展的2010年SJ双年展上的干预主义生态艺术实践中，01SJ双年展是主要的国际媒体艺术节。它吸引了成千上万的游客。超过60多名艺术家，设计师和集体计划参加2010年。2010年的主题是“建立自己的世界”，大多数参与项目都有一个共同的主题，这是开发替代，协作和做事的共同主题（DIY）接近社会和环境条件。因此，它为民族志研究提供了一个独特的机会，以研究有限的空间和时间范围内的一系列项目和实践。这项研究将从事以下活动（1）观察和分析2010年01SJ双年展上提出的Eco-Arts项目； （2）双年展作为委托艺术/设计集体的参与者观察（3）项目研讨会，以整合前两项活动的结果，并为可持续的HCI（4）与艺术家的后续采访开发一组关键主题来自双年展的策展人。
