Excavating Digital Archives

Each of these projects explore ways of excavating the increasingly vast digital archives that we are beginning to build throughout our lives. In particular, they are attempts to establish ways in which physical and digital technological artefacts might be made more emotionally and temporally enduring, and consequently how those archives might then be handed down to others over time.

This work includes 3 projects; Photo Box,  Remembr and Hidden Printers , each of which was undertaken during a 12 week Internship, and subsequent consultancy work, within the Socio-Digital Systems group at Microsoft Research Cambridge and form part of the Technology Heirlooms research theme.

My name is Mark and I’m a product interaction designer. Or something.

I am currently a PhD candidate in the Horizon Digital Economy Research Hub at the University of Nottingham. As well as conducting my own research into the design of more emotionally valuable and temporally enduring technologies, I continue to be involved in ongoing research projects exploring the possibilities of  ’Technology Heirlooms’.

Anyway, feel free to have a look around and if  you think you might be interested in working with me get in touch.
