Abstract
How do we conceptualize our bodily engagement with Information Systems (IS) artifacts? How do IS artifacts choreograph bodily action across physical environment and digital realms? And what are the implications for information systems use and design in personal and work contexts? These three questions framed our conference “Sense and Movement in the Digital Age”, held at the University of Agder in Norway on 29–30 January 2026 and joined by scholars and practitioners from Information Systems and other disciplines. This paper synthesizes the main insights by positioning sense and movement within established and emerging IS discourse: process science, multisensory bodily experience, promoting wellbeing, affective artificial intelligence, and organizational sensing and moving. If IS artifacts choreograph what can be sensed and how movement unfolds, it also shapes how we relate to one another and how we express our feelings. The task before IS research is therefore modest but consequential: to revisit what it means to be human in the digital age by digging deeper into sense and movement. We outline a research agenda in this direction.
