Abstract [en]

Many of our lives most significant changes are today intertwined with the ‘digital world’. When we experience transitions through its environment, opportunities for expression become limited, essentially leaving us with fewer ways to manage said transitions. Through various design activities, anchored in speculative exploration, this thesis has attempted to answer: How may the expression of non-utilitarian values, especially those of joy during transitions, be supported in digital discarding? As it offered means for ritualisation, a dynamic discarding, composed of time (momentum), effort (force), and effect (energy), was found to be of relevance. Its qualities were manifested in the prototype cmd: express which integrated multi-modal as well as embodied interaction and consequently formed a magnified, “fun” and empowering experience. Due to the projects minimised focus on ‘making’ and limitations in terms of generalisability, future work endeavours might include a detailed and tangible exploration of defined qualities as well as collective digital discarding.
