Description #
How do you feel about your phone? Do you notice what happens between you during the day? The project explores that relationship through the lens of digital rituals. Trivial or deeply felt, a representation of our bond with devices. The work draws from a Cultural Probe study in which twelve participants kept a diary, recording the small things they do with their phones and how those moments make them feel. This work shares findings of the Master’s thesis Digital Rituals: A Cultural Probe Study of Human–Smartphone Relationships, inviting visitors to reflect on their own patterns.
