Abstract

We report a pre-study and a three-week in-the-wild deployment of a non-moderated interactive public display prototype designed as a communication extension for an established community. A pre-study was conducted to map existing practices in order to ground the design. We explore the adoption process of the display prototype as well as rhythms of usage. We discuss findings related to extensions of presence within the community, the impact of the display on the community's activities, as well as aspects of appropriation and co-design. We illustrate how the display was used to extend one's presence within the community in addition to existing means of communication. This opens up new design possibilities when social dynamics are carefully negotiated.
