Intimate Media describes the stuff that people create and collect to store and share their personal memories, interests and loves. Typical examples of intimate media include photo albums, souvenirs and diaries - although anything could be intimate media depending on the meaning and value that has been attributed to it. That meaning can relate to a person's past, their present or potential futures. The MiME project focuses on the relationship between computer technology and people's experience of their intimate media collections around the home. As computers steadily move into every aspect of personal life, MiME proposes that instead of allowing intimate media to disappear into the computer, artifacts and systems should be designed to better promote human experiences around the collection, storage and sharing of intimate media. |
