< Investigating the
Materiality of Digital Objects >
I began by examining how intangible digital artifacts—such as screenshots, playlists, and notes—serve as significant, material components of our daily lives. To delve deeper, I conducted interviews with Gen-Z participants, collecting personal narratives that highlighted their interactions with these digital objects.
I also organised a workshop exploring memes as digital objects that Gen-Z and millenials often use to articulate poignant events and feelings. The meme becomes a digital only visual language to unpack many discussions otherwise unable to be diiscussed without the use of added irony or humor.

This research illuminated how such artifacts function as extensions of identity, memory, and self-expression in contemporary digital culture.
