Intimate Media Environments

We
surround ourselves with and carry with us artefacts representing
people, memories, facts and events. These artefacts have strong
personal and emotional components for us. They support our need
to create, maintain and experience our own mental, physical and
digital ecologies and become what we call intimate media. We propose
that instead of intimate media disappearing into the computer, the
computer will disappear into everyday artefacts thus creating new
ways of accessing, editing, collecting, storing and sharing intimate
media. The project aims to enable people to experience an easy,
familiar closeness to their intimate media at home or underway.
Through the creation of relevant artefacts and interactions MIME
provides scenarios allowing people to access, collect, edit, store
and share, new TM intimate media in various contexts and locations.
