Abstract
In this research we aim to establish connections between design decisions on material and interactive qualities of technological artifacts and their influence in concretizing or reframing people’s practices. Taking the mediating characteristics of the smartphone in the act of photography as building blocks, 26 design projects engaged in a process of reframing the possibilities of capturing a life experience in an embodied interaction design process informed by mediation theory to account for technological influence.
