This paper explores the potential for cross-fertilization between Animal-Computer Interaction (ACI) and cultural anthropology. It argues for a more systematic integration of anthropological perspectives into ACI, particularly in understanding the animal-technology-human triad within its cultural context. The authors propose that this integration can reveal how culture influences technology-mediated human-animal interactions and, conversely, how these interactions can shape culture. Moving beyond human-centric approaches in technology design for animals, the paper highlights that cultural insights can offer a deeper understanding of animal welfare and human-animal relationships, ultimately enriching both disciplines by re-examining the concept of culture as a multi-species and reciprocal creation.
