Design Considerations For Supporting Social Interaction In Algorithmic Social Media Feed, Daehyun Kwak, Heejae Bae, Youn-Kyung Lim
Design Considerations For Supporting Social Interaction In Algorithmic Social Media Feed, Daehyun Kwak, Heejae Bae, Youn-Kyung Lim
IASDR Conference Series
Nowadays, social media platforms employ recommender systems to proactively suggest the posts that a user is likely to prefer, even if it comes from strangers (e.g., the “Suggested Posts” feature on Instagram). Previous studies revealed that these algorithmic recommendations influence users’ social interaction practices in social media. However, there is little attempt to investigate how social media feeds should be designed to ensure the social interactions users truly want. Given this background, we conducted four design workshops aiming to explore design considerations for social media feeds that can support users’ social interactions under the impact of algorithmic recommendations. Based on …
Social Media As Second Creation: Cyber-Space As A Denial Of Cosmic Community, Carter Ford
Social Media As Second Creation: Cyber-Space As A Denial Of Cosmic Community, Carter Ford
Scholar Week 2016 - present
Social media aims to move the communal sphere into the digital world. It is often quipped that the current generation is the most “connected” yet “disconnected” generation in history. If social media truly succeeds in moving the social community into a digital sphere, what is the source of the widely experienced disconnect from one another? I will argue that evaluating social media in light of Bonhoeffer’s cosmic community reveals that social media insufficiently invades the space of human relationship, not capable of supporting either connection between individuals or creation. Thus, rather than affirming real relationship online, social media replaces community …
Design And Cyberactivism On Social Media During Covid-19 In Brazil, Heloísa Oliveira, Suzete Venturelli
Design And Cyberactivism On Social Media During Covid-19 In Brazil, Heloísa Oliveira, Suzete Venturelli
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The article presented below addresses the presence of design, in its intersection with art and technology, in activist actions disseminated and organized through digital social media during the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. To this, four contemporary works of cyberactivism and art-activism in digital social media will be presented and analyzed to obtain a more in-depth insight into how these cases show design, as well as the respective strategies of action in this period, marked by political crises, hyperconnectivity in networks, and social distancing.
Thin Talk With Tiktok: Portraying The Influence Of Tiktok Trends On The Body Image Perceptions Of The Female Senior High School Students Of De La Salle University Integrated School Through An Interactive Sculpture, Portia Beatrice L. Quiazon
Thin Talk With Tiktok: Portraying The Influence Of Tiktok Trends On The Body Image Perceptions Of The Female Senior High School Students Of De La Salle University Integrated School Through An Interactive Sculpture, Portia Beatrice L. Quiazon
DLSU Senior High School Research Congress
The pandemic has caused a rise of fitness-related videos to go trending on TikTok, which is currently one of the most-used apps in the Philippines. Adding to this the prolonged screen time because of quarantine and being extra conscious of physical appearances in online communication setups, this influences the body image perceptions of teenage women. The study aims to determine whether TikTok is positively or negatively influencing teenage women’s body image perception through qualitative surveys with the female senior high school students of De La Salle University Integrated School. The collected data revealed that TikTok’s influence is a mix of …
The Cultivation Of Materialism In The Fashion Community On Instagram, Emelie Vasquez
The Cultivation Of Materialism In The Fashion Community On Instagram, Emelie Vasquez
Capstone Showcase
Cultivation theory, proposed by George Gerbner, suggests that patterns across the media are used to warp viewers perceptions of reality, slowly creating beliefs and changing habits of frequent viewers. The theory was originally only applied to the study of television in the 1960s because it was the first medium of its kind to be accessible to anyone; there are no age or literacy restrictions for television. However, as media had evolved, cultivation theory has expanded. The theory can now be applied to other mediums such as social media. This paper explores the relationship between Instagram’s fashion community and materialistic values. …
The Ideas Of Milton’S Areopagitica In Contemporary Society, Emily Moore
The Ideas Of Milton’S Areopagitica In Contemporary Society, Emily Moore
Georgia Undergraduate Research Conference
Milton fought against editors who sought to change his work and the work of others before it was published. The ideas conveyed in the Areopagitica are reflected in contemporary copyright laws and the concept of self-publishing. Specifically, the idea of self-publishing would have appealed to Milton so he could publish his works without constraint. Although he advocated for the people to write despite certain risks, such as censorship, Milton sought to inspire people to change the way society thought, not to display their sometimes ill opinions. The contemporary mediums of social media allow people to post these opinions without restraint, …

Mobile Museum Communication Design And New Literacies, Dagny Stuedahl, Sarah Lowe
Mobile Museum Communication Design And New Literacies, Dagny Stuedahl, Sarah Lowe
Learn X Design Conference Series
The relationship of technology to museum practices is a field that continues to evolve; acknowledging the potential for generating innovative engagement with museum visitors. Engagements that will require understandings on the part of museum communication that include: content travelling across contexts, iterative participatory methods suitable for mobile social media participation, and sustainability of the media involved. In this paper we demonstrate how the use of a small-scale prototype experiment is used as the basis for generating methods in which design thinking and cultural investigation can contribute to understanding emerging literacies for museum communication design. As a team of researchers making …
Design For Co-Creation With Interactive Montage, Birgitta Cappelen, Anders-Petter Andersson
Design For Co-Creation With Interactive Montage, Birgitta Cappelen, Anders-Petter Andersson
Nordes Conference Series
Montage in cinema means to mount images and sounds from different sources, that are interpreted together and whose oppositions drive the story further. In this article we develop the montage concept further for co-creation in interactive, tactile, spatial cross-media. As case we use the design of the interactive, tangible, cross-media installation ORFI. ORFI is developed to facilitate collaboration and co-creation between children with severe disabilities and their care persons. In this article we focus on how we have designed for interactive montage. We present two main types of interactive montage, close and shifted in three dimensions (spatial, temporal and actorial). …

Engaging Artifacts In Cultural Heritage, Marjo Mäenpää, Halina Gottlieb, Dagny Stuedahl
Nordes Conference Series
Artefacts and objects have an important position in museums and cultural heritage institutions. Here artefacts are the authentic objects which audience could have an experience of historical phenomena or of art works. Digital media and communication technologies bring new perspectives into the field that involves new practices both among the audience and visitors and among the different departments of the institutions. Well-designed, inclusive artefacts could increase accessibility and participation in various ways in cultural heritage issues. The workshop will explore various ways of building engagement with cultural heritage issues and sites.
