Abstract
ABSTRACT The idea of connecting with the sensory realities of others can help us to build empathic ties and to think outside the boundaries of our preconceived ideas. Envisioning these opportunities, this paper introduces a framework with a set of embodied modalities derived from communicating embodied experiences through a prototype for storytelling called SOUL. This prototype was built to transmit some experiential qualities based on a first-person narrative truthfully. Three ways of bodily connecting with the experience of others are here identified as (1) assertion, (2) negotiation or (3) dissension, and described as different ways of generating embodied connections with the prototype. This approach is intended to enrich the value of alterity in HCI, including disagreement and tension in times where the design of one size fits all artefacts appear as the general rule. We conclude that this sensory way of transmitting meaning can be useful for communicating assertive messages.
期刊介绍:
Digital Creativity is a major peer-reviewed journal at the intersection of the creative arts, design and digital technologies. It publishes articles of interest to those involved in the practical task and theoretical aspects of making or using digital media in creative disciplines. These include but are not limited to visual arts, interaction design, physical computing and making, computational materials, textile and fashion design, filmmaking and animation, game design, music, dance, drama, architecture and urban design. The following list, while not exhaustive, indicates a range of topics that fall within the scope of the journal: * New insights through the use of digital media in the creative process * The relationships between practice, research and technology * The design and making of digital artefacts and environments * Interaction relationships between digital media and audience / public * Everyday experience with digital design and artwork * Aspects of digital media and storytelling * Theoretical concepts
