In contemporary digital environments, the value of digital goods is not intrinsic but is shaped through the interpretive frameworks that consumers use to understand and engage with these virtual objects. This study examines how digital objects acquire significance and value as they are mediated through technological interfaces, focusing on the dynamic interactions between users and technology. By applying the concept of hermeneutic relations, the research uncovers the processes through which technology influences consumer perceptions and interactions with digital goods, thereby generating value. The analysis shows that digital goods acquire value through hermeneutic relations, where technologies shape the interpretive frameworks that consumers use to understand and engage with these virtual objects. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how digital value is constructed and the role of technology in this process, offering insights for future research in digital humanities and technology studies.
