Hello, Future.

Synthetic Empathic Intelligent Companion Artefacts (SEICA) Human Interaction Labs
​

We are a future-bending virtual organization that takes a speculative approach to (re)searching human interaction in relation to networked consumer electronic devices. Founded in 2017 by multimedia artist Laura Hyunjhee Kim, our core activity is manifested on a website and our (re)discoveries are realized and disseminated through various digital and physical tools that support remote access.

SEICA Virtual Research Labs

Our Virtual Research Labs actively conduct multimedia-based research through digital experimentation and production of new media works as a means to investigate new-er experiences in relation to networked electronic devices that mediate human relationships and present new ways of thinking about intimacy.

SEICA Prototype Lab

Our Prototype Lab implements the Intermediary Interface Research Lab (IIRL)'s Human Interaction Management: A Proposal and develops a series of Companion Artefact robot prototypes. Instead of applying hierarchical owner-owned relationship design principles as in creating virtual pets, the lab designs prototypes as intermediary interfaces that not only provide companionship but also help humans consciously engage in building meaningful relationships with each other.
