  Media design can be used for research purposes if it includes a clearly defined research question, and clear evaluation to see whether an answer to the research question has been found. Using a project with locative media for classical music communication as our example, we discuss common evaluation methods from the User Experience field, observing that they all tend to test “interface” and not “content.” Instead we propose three other methods of evaluation, that have a basis in humanist theories, such as textual analysis and genre studies: (1) Qualitative interviews with evaluators after the evaluation, asking them to describe the service in their own words, followed by a semantic analysis to get at how they have understood the service. (2) Within-subject A/B tests with alternative versions that are different in key aspects. (3) Peer review by experienced design researchers, who are likely to have a more fine-tuned vocabulary to express their opinions.

  This article explores composition skills and modalities for locative, multimedia texts by reporting experiences from a locative iPhone application that plays church music and explains that music’s history in churches in Rome, Italy. Using a research by design approach, we did three rounds of observation, paper sketches, and user testing of prototypes. We found that an effective locative text must be adapted to the place in which it is intended to be experienced. The locative text must be specific, possibly referring to what the audience can see or experience at the place, and thus it is important to know how people usually behave in that particular place. Images are of little relevance in a mobile guide, except for exterior shots, which may help users to locate interesting buildings. Sound is more effective than visual modes as it allows the audience to look around while listening. For the same reason, the user interface in mobile, locative applications need to be even easier to use than in other services as they invite the audience to move through space while interacting with the application.

We found sound works better than images, but are still searching for a good solution for hyperlinks.

  The term ‘convergence’ has been used to describe the media developments following digitalization. In this article, I argue that while convergence was a suitable term to describe the first developments, it is no longer fitting. Convergence levelled out the differences between media, allowing for the developments we now see, and for which I propose the term ‘remix’. Using YouTube as an eample, I outline how genre developments may be seen as remixes of earlier genres, how remixing has become a widespread creative practice, and how online media also remix power relations between media owners and their audience.

  Anders Fagerjord presents a theoretical model of genre relations in multimedia applying the four axes Mode of Distribution (the balance of amount of material and time between authoring and reading); Mode of Restrictions (range and detail in space and time); Mode of Acquisition (the reading process required of the reader); and Mode of Signification (the particular combination of sign systems).

  As the twenty-first century unfolds, computers continue to change the way we think about culture, society and what it is to be human: areas traditionally explored by the humanities. In a world of Big Data, Google Books, digital archives, real-time streaming systems and smart phones, our use of culture has been changing dramatically. The digital humanities give us powerful tools and methods for thinking about culture and history in the contemporary world, through the use of sophisticated computing techniques and methods. Berry and Fagerjord provide a comprehensive guide, exploring the history, intellectual work, key arguments and ideas of this emerging discipline. They also undertake a substantive critique, suggesting ways in which the humanities can be enriched through computing, but also how cultural critique can transform the digital humanities.

  This thesis takes as its starting point the widespread conception of media convergence. If all media are converging, as many believe, what do the texts look (or sound) like in the new convergent media? Using feature journalism on the Web as the object of analysis, Fagerjord asks whether the means of expression of earlier media are converging on the Web, and if so, how. Fagerjord argues that many Web genres can be viewed as cases of rhetorical convergence, following various forms of technological convergence of digital media. Using semiotic and rhetoric theory, a large number of Web sites and genres are analysed. The thesis consists of nine essays, each addressing a specific problem related to the multimediated composition of Web sites. More theoretical problems include questions of linearity and nonlinearity in Web sites, and the use of semiotic theory on computer texts. Specific examples of multimedia genres are analysed in detail, such as �interactive graphics,� photo collections on the Web, Web sites combining video with written material, and �edu-tainment� texts resembling computer games. In the introductory essay, the insights from the following contributions are brought together to a higher and more general level of analysis, as elements in a four-dimensional theory of relations between Web genres and earlier media. Fagerjord argues that any text may be described according to the four axes Mode of Distribution (the balance of amount of material and time between authoring and reading); Mode of Restrictions (range and detail in space and time); Mode of Acquisition (the reading process required of the reader); and Mode of Signification (the particular combination of sign systems). Rhetorical convergence is when a text is similar to one genre on one axis and another genre on another axis. However, the model implies that rhetorical divergence may be better than convergence in describing the changes.

  The paper reports on a study where three print articles, three television documentaries, and three Web sites by the National Geographci Society were compared to see what constitutes linearity, and whether nonlinearity takes the place of linearity in Web media. Devices of transistion, disposition, and linking are studied, as well as aspects of narration. The Web sites proved to be linked in a manner that most of the time only allows a linear reading.

• Fagerjord, Anders (2001). Linearity and Multicursality in World Wide Web Documentaries. Show summary

  Are non-fiction Web sites nonlinear like literary hypertexts, or linear like film and print? A study of magazine articles, television documentaries and Web sites by th eNational Geographic Society reveals that in spite of linking, the Web sits make just as linear reading experiences as the older media, although less creative. The study gives nuance to conceptions of linearity and nonlinearity by studying what linearity really is, thus setting nonlinearity in relief. A number of techniques to bridge gaps in the reading line are indentified in films and articles. It is argued that by using these techniques in linking, both better reading experiences and less linear Web sites could be achieved.

• Fagerjord, Anders (2001). Rhetorical Convergence: Studying Web Media. Show summary

  One of the difficulties of applying existing media theories to the Web is that periodic Web media seem more to be hybrids of forms from different older media than media just emigrating to a new, digital environment. As this is a logical consequence of the digital development called convergence, I propose to call this rhetorical convergence. Rhetorical convergence occurs when rhetorical techniques inherited from different media co-exist on the same Web page. For today's Web author, all kinds of sign-systems are available, be they text, sound, still or moving images. What emerges is a rhetoric of convergence, a blend of existing figures. A charting of these convergent forms will be the first part of the study of rhetorical convergence. When rhetorics converge, different practises will have to be weighed against each other. Some conventions and practises from old media will be used, and others will not. The second part of the study of rhetorical convergence will be a charting of this process.

  En gjennomgang av den populære forestillingen om at alle mediene kommer til å smelte sammen til ett skjermmedium, "The Über-box", med utgangspunkt i en artikkel av Jakob Nielsen. Jeg viser at forestillingen daterer seg tilbake til 1940-årene, at dette mediet har vært teknisk mulig siden ca. 1970, og at en av mange årsaker til at det ikke har materialisert seg er at det er store uløste retoriske problemer forbundet med å lage materiale for et slikt medium.
