Abstract

"Postcard From___" is a net.art master's thesis project about the concept of home and the experience of displacement from home. The project blends multiple modes such as video documentaries and montages, digital illustration, digital narrative, and website interaction and design (UI/UX). "Postcard From___" is an ethnographic research project involving 16 participants, including the author. The project aims to explore the different experiences of being at home and being away from home while utilizing both traditional and digital media. It is inspired by previous related digital media and cultural projects such as Pat Badani’s "Where are you from? Stories," Katerina Cizek’s "Universe Within," and many others.
