Interface
Book • 2014
Branden Hookway's 'Interface' examines how interfaces do more than present information—they structure the possibilities of perception, interaction, and knowledge.
The book moves beyond narrow GUI-centric views to analyze how material, social, and technical mediations produce epistemic effects.
Hookway draws on philosophy, STS, and design to show how interfaces enact worlds and subjects rather than merely facilitating access.
The work situates interfaces within broader cultural and political contexts, arguing for a critical understanding of mediation.
It has influenced debates in HCI, media studies, and philosophy about how technologies shape human experience.
