Sharing Human Seeing and Hearing and Their Annotated Portfolio

The paper describes the use of an annotated portfolio for extracting their possibilities and challenges from “CollectiveEyes and CollectiveEars” to document abstract features of these digital platforms that are meant to engage human visual and auditory perception. This proposed annotated portfolio offers two different perspectives: the sociomateriality perspective and the pleasurability perspective. After introducing the background of our approach and providing an overview of CollectiveEyes and CollectiveEars, we present their annotations and the process to document them. Additionally, we share some early experiences with these annotations, which were used to analyze the platforms. These experiences demonstrate that this approach effectively highlights the abstract qualitative properties of the platforms, thereby facilitating the identification of potential opportunities for their future refinements.
