Haptic Perception Meets Interface Aesthetics: Cultural Representations of Touchscreen Technology in the Aftermath of the iPhone 2007.
The touchscreen is something other than a boundary between real and illusory worlds, or what Anne Friedberg (2009) calls a "virtual window" (p. 96). The aesthetics of that 'something else' is not determined by the technology itself, but by its use in a myriad of cultural practices including how it i...

Comparing these media experiences reveals a representational shift that occurs between the introduction of the touchscreen and the cultural integration of this technology just three years later. A focus on breaking through the frame of the screen shifts into screen interfaces as the building blocks for the virtual construction of "hybrid space" (De Souza e Silva, 2006). pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2017 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
