Abstract

This study delves into the nexus of fluid material interpretation and digital value through a postphenomenological approach, concentrating on human-technology relationships. In an era where technology significantly molds human experiences, understanding the process by which digital items acquire value is vital. The research posits that digital items are active participants in value creation through their interactions with users and technology, rather than passive objects. Utilizing the concept of fluid material interpretation, the study reveals how digital items, via their continuous interactions with technology, become tangible within virtual realms, thus gaining significance and value for users. The study argues that these digital artifacts emerge from dynamic human-technology interactions, where technology plays a non-neutral and instrumental role in defining the meanings and values ascribed to these artifacts. This perspective challenges traditional notions of digital items as simple representations and offers new insights into their role in today’s digital culture.
