Dan asked her about a recent article she had written regarding archiving ("Blind Spots" from the Chronicle of Higher Education), and she talked about the peculiarities of physicality…the coffee stain on a file folder that you use to remember a particular item. How researchers were able to locate records from a certain time by smelling documents to detect arsenic (used to ward off plague).
So, in relation to my project:
- How could the idea of physicality or at the very least, imperfection, help my first stab at visual study #2?
- How could these ideas further the notion of triage?
- How could I help differentiate information/results so that they aren’t all visually equivalent?
- Could I allow users to spill/smudge/scuff/mark-up their search results?
- How can I marry the efficiency and malleability of the digital interface with the tangible and visual cues of physical space?
