Photographs have played an important role to mediate intimacy among families or friends by reminding of shared memories. Including representation of contextual annotations as well as subtle distortion of digital photos according to the context of display or viewers’ response towards the picture, this body of concepts aims at increasing intimacy through tangible representation of memories. Also, the picture frame can be reinterpreted as a meaningful interface for tangible manipulation of images. It focuses on the importance of continuous communication with others through synchronized photo display.
