“Weight of Scrolling” - Browsing Social Media In Bed With A Collaborative Interface for Horizontal Users
Year: 2024
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Browsing social media feeds in bed can reduce relationship quality, disrupt sleep, increase anxiety, and cause physical discomfort. To provoke creative discussion around these issues, this paper presents a demonstration of a refreshing alternative. “Weight of Scrolling” is an interactive installation that successfully reimagines social media scrolling through a tangible embodied media interface that fosters positive collaborative engagement. Participants are invited to lay down together and collectively, physically manipulate a large-scale cotton fabric scroll of simulated social media updates.
