About

Adrian Hazzard’s research sits at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), embodied interaction, and inclusive creative technologies. Their work fundamentally rethinks how we experience and control technology through the body, challenging traditional notions of agency and surrender. In their highly cited 2020 paper, "Contesting control," Hazzard explores the nuanced bodily experiences of breath-controlled amusement rides and brain-controlled films, revealing how loosening control can deepen self-awareness and engagement. This work has garnered 32 citations and is pivotal for HCI researchers designing for somatic experience. More recently, Hazzard’s 2024 paper on "Jess+" demonstrates their commitment to inclusive music-making, using AI and robotics to create digital scores that open new creative possibilities for diverse ensembles. With 11 citations already, this project showcases how cutting-edge technology can foster collaboration and accessibility. Hazzard’s contributions are notable for bridging theoretical frameworks with practical, inclusive design, making them a key voice in shaping how we interact with—and through—technology.
