Fascinated by how stories/narratives can be unraveled in the digital screen. I made a small game called'Savior'. In the game, player is a ball living in a city and she/he should save the other (ball) residents stuck in all the advertisements. - This special issue motivated me to explore 'web as a theater, a stage for storytelling' -> I created my personal website textyours.world. - In Textyours, I started to create my own hand-written web pages, aiming to embrace writing and (web)designing practice together.

Second Year

Starting point

- Fascinated by making a web page but then most of the websites today are not enjoyable today. - I as user don't really enjoy them. Not a lot of diversity enough - In the job market there is certain standardisation about what 'good' web design is supposed to be. - There are particular ways how 'user experience' is defined and appreciated. - Designers are easily judged by specific technical conditions. - So many labels on professions in the web design industry - Professional vs Amatuer?

Research Thesis

- The uniformity of web today _ In which ways could diversity be brought to the web? - Any wiggle rooms for artists/designers to create some experiments? (Balancing usability and pleasuarbility) - What user experience is...?

Method1) Books: - Interface Culture by Steve Johnson - Windows and Mirrors - Turing Complete User and Digital Folklore by Olia Lialina
Method2) Interviews:
Method3) My personal experiences of traveling

Exploring (or being lost) during the process

- Made different sketches

Finally: User Sentimental eXperience

My learning = Points that I can think more

- The meaning and impact of 'publishing' activity - Various feedback from people (unexpected but very grateful)

(e.g. 'What is user? How do you define?' 'User autonomy' 

To be continued....

- It's going to be a continiual practice of mine.
