This article lays out the framework for relational-performative aesthetics in human-robot interaction, comprising a theoretical lens and design approach for critical practice-based inquiries into embodied meaning-making in human-robot interaction. I explore the centrality of aesthetics as a practice of embodied meaning-making by drawing on my arts-led, performance-based approach to human-robot encounters, as well as other artistic practices. Understanding social agency and meaning as being enacted through the situated dynamics of the interaction, I bring into focus a process of entangling and transforming subjects and objects in the encounter and rendering elastic boundaries in-between. Rather than serving to make the strange look more familiar, aesthetics here is about rendering the differences between humans and robots more relational. My notion of a relational-performative design approach-proposes that we engage with human-robot encounters from the earliest stages of the robot design. This is where we begin to manifest boundaries that shape meaning-making and the potential for emergence, transformation, and connections arising from intra-bodily resonances (). I argue that this relational-performative approach opens up new possibilities for how we design robots and how they socially participate in the encounter.
本文阐述了人机交互中关系表演美学的框架，包括一个理论视角和一种设计方法，用于对基于实践的人机交互中具身意义建构进行批判性探究。我通过借鉴以艺术为主导、基于表演的人机相遇方法以及其他艺术实践，探讨了美学作为具身意义建构实践的核心地位。将社会能动性和意义理解为通过互动的情境动态得以实现，我聚焦于相遇中主体与客体的纠缠与转化过程以及其间弹性边界的形成。在此，美学并非旨在让陌生变得更熟悉，而是让人类与机器人之间的差异更具关联性。我提出的关系表演设计方法的理念是，我们应从机器人设计的最初阶段就参与到人机相遇之中。正是在此处，我们开始塑造那些影响意义建构以及由体内共鸣引发的涌现、转化和连接可能性的边界。我认为这种关系表演方法为我们设计机器人以及它们如何在社会层面参与相遇开辟了新的可能性。
