dc.description.abstractThis thesis explores self-expression and dialogue at the intersection of virtual and physical public space, through the conceptualization and development of "Objective Meaning". This is an artwork that allows individuals to contribute messages anonymously to a public display via personal devices. It builds on relational and disruptive art practices to create an unconventional experience that elicits reflection and a sense of agency for individuals who encounter it. By visually abstracting messages on the display, it is intended that individuals contemplate their engagement with public discourse. The use of visual abstraction also reveals a new space for mediating publicly contributed content on interactive displays. This is further explored through deployment of "Objective Meaning" in a semi-public space, collection of log data and field observations, followed by analysis and reflection on how people make use of this system and respond to the visual mediation of their expression.en_US
