On understanding communication through our use of artifacts

The present study is an attempt to explore the notion of “mobility” through an experiential learning program. In Fall 2017, five groups of college students attempted to design a series of “mobile kits” for place-making activities. That is to envision and identify when, where, with whom, and how our “precious moments” will be realized. From a carry cart to a bicycle, each group tried to modify and redesign a range of selected items (vehicles) based on their own “issues”at hand. By referring to the process and outcome of the project, this paper begins a discussion about the ways in which we can speculate upon human communication behavior though understanding the use of artifacts/objects in our day-to-day activities.
