Project 2 – Language

In project 2, I reformed a group, which we called our selves “Reshape” which consists of three people, Dinda Pradi, Frits Bovill and myself. We have comprehensive research of language (click here to see our group blog) and as a result we came across to do a research on this following topic.

Abstract:

This research topic is focused on the re-appropriation of content from one medium to another; and the way that such a shift can influence one’s perception or understanding of information. The motivation for researching this topic is based on a desire to create an open source educational aid, making people aware of how messages can be communicated; and how this can bring about social/ envinromental/ political change.

In observing the communicational/functional/interactive capabilities of mediums, we aim to find innovative way to: (a) deliver information effectively; and (b) expand the function(s) of a given medium.

The research methods are based around people and interaction. This includes a survey, focus group and a series of practical people-based experiments.
