We went to the Louisiana Museum today (again!). I found myself looking at the (physical) frames of some artworks and how they gestured to different historical and political frames of life.

List of TEI '25 pictorials is online, incl. our work on "Thermal Cards", spearheaded by @blackcorvid.bsky.social Direct follow up to our DIS 2024 paper, where we developed design theory based on lexical analysis of classical Chinese poetry (doi.org/10.1145/3643...) Stay tuned for pre-print

Thermal experiences can be surprisingly rich, complex, and connected to emotions. How to introduce thermal cues into your projects? How can we design for this using multisensory technologies? In our new #TEI2025 Pictorial we explain how Chinese Ci poetry has some answers! 🧵 osf.io/62pqa
