About
Guido Salimbeni is a researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction (HCI), multispecies design, and ethical technology. His work critically examines how non-human animals—particularly cats—are entangled with technological systems, pushing the boundaries of participatory design and ethical research practices. Salimbeni is best known for his role in the artist-led project *Cat Royale*, a provocative exploration of creating an interactive, multispecies artwork that sparked widespread debate about animal agency, consent, and welfare in technology design. His most cited paper, “Charting Ethical Tensions in Multispecies Technology Research through Beneficiary-Epistemology Space” (2024, 13 citations), reflects on the complex ethical approval processes navigated during this project, offering a novel framework for understanding whose knowledge counts and who benefits in multispecies research. By foregrounding the often-invisible ethical labor of researchers, Salimbeni’s work has become a touchstone for scholars grappling with the moral dimensions of designing for and with animals. His contributions are shaping a more reflexive, accountable approach to HCI, challenging the field to expand its moral community beyond the human.
