  1. 1. Weird Digitization: Alternative Strategies for Archival Materials

    Master-uppsats, Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för kulturvetenskaper (KV)

    Författare :Christa Shusko; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Digital Humanities; Digitization; Archival materials; Photography; Material culture.;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis draws on the theory of new materialism to posit an alternative approach to cultural heritage digitization. Modifying the method of critical digitization and synthesizing it with the method of thick description for the study of damaged cultural heritage, this thesis proposes the method weird digitization which seeks to challenge traditional selection criteria for cultural heritage digitization as well as challenging practices of mass digitization.

  4. 3. Expressive Signals : The art of connecting: Enhancing digital expression through crafted connectivity and micro-interactions

    Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Designhögskolan vid Umeå universitet

    Författare :Linda Marie Kraft; [2023]
    Nyckelord :storytelling; digital communication; micro interactions; design system; haptics;

    Sammanfattning : How do we design for connection? How might we introduce quirkiness, personal expression and a little bit of magic to our unified, unemotional black screens? Working with design systems can have perks, but something gets lost when we systemise how we communicate. I argue to open up rigid design systems and loosen their rules to elicit something new that’s cute, weird, and so unique: it becomes magical. LÄS MER
