  ABSTRACT


  Bottling Experience, Freezing Ephemera

Margaret Hedstrom, Associate Professor

School of Information, University of Michigan

Abstract: What are the possibilities and limitations of capturing not 
only content, but context, “look and feel” and even experience for 
future playback or reuse? I will present some of the results of the 
CAMiLEON Project <http://www.si.umich.edu/CAMILEON> on users’ responses 
to digital objects that were preserved with varying degrees of content, 
look and feel, and potential for interaction intact. The research draws 
on some of the first empirical data on users’ preferences for different 
digital preservation strategies and on their reasoning about 
authenticity. I will then discuss how we are extending results from the 
CAMiLEON Project to an exploration of the issues of authenticity, 
originality, and impermanence of physical and analog works created with 
ephemeral media. The purpose of this research is to identify to concepts 
and issues common to preservation ephemeral works in the physical and 
digital realm.
