Door: The evolution of messenger and analogue emotion

Abstract

Door is an interactive art within an emotional technology, and it has been studied about human communication in modern cities through the symbolic meaning of the door. Today, an instant messenger or a mobile phone is a general way for conversation, and we are familiar with such methods of communication. Digital technology has made life dramatically easier for us to talk to others immediately. Nevertheless, this type of relation with people is not likely to last long because an instant messenger has emphasized the importance of giving information without an emotional exchange. This new type of human network has been made in virtual world with extremely limited human touch. Door is an excellent alternative to overcome the limitations of digital technology. © 2012 ACM.
