DIGITAL MEMORIES

PAD. Pages on Arts and Design, Issue 23, will be published in December 2022.

This monographic issue proposes a debate on the theme of memory and/of the digital.
The call for paper invites researchers, scholars and practitioners to share reflections, research, teaching experiences and case studies to discuss from the multiple perspectives of design culture the history (past), practices (present) and prospects (future) of the relationship between design, information and digital technologies.

Among the topics and the issues, we intend to bring out, analyse and discuss: the history of digital interfaces, visual and multimodal languages, programming and coding evolution and the relationships between the fields of communication and interaction design; the historiography of digital design; the role of design in preserving, organising, transmitting and presenting the documental heritage of the present to future generations; the evolution of devices; the relationship between digital and human memory; the issues related to media, platforms, processes and methods of memory preservation; design-oriented and practice-based research, best practices or case studies of systems, applications, data- and knowledge-base repositories; original experimental projects; case studies and projects, method-based experiments, theoretical reflections on the preservation of the memory of/in the digital world, also considering the issue of the construction of memory repositories in/of the present.
