This approach models and develops the interface as a multidimensional
border zone
between people, activities, codes, components, and systems.
Such border zones are
characterized by the relationships that they enable and prohibit.
The development of hybrid forms can be catalyzed or prevented.
The need to understand and resolve
differences can function as a barrier, or as a transformative
mechanism that drives innovation.
Theory and practice are connected, instead of separated, as in
studies approaches (e.g. performance studies, cinema studies,
cultural anthropology).
We develop a metadisicplinary theoretical
foundation, and apply it in the process of our research.
