Experiment 1

Below I have provided a short video that I made representing ideas of digital/mobile intimacy that are provided by Archambault. The video consists of seven images that focus on the mobile devices power to create new intimate networks and relationships, but also having the power destroy them and create distrust among people.

In her book, Archambault defines digital/mobile intimacy through providing examples of the relationships that mobile phones create. In chapter 4, she talks about how the mobile phone has played a key role in creating new networks amongst people, including illicit affairs. She also talks about how people are now able to directly talk to people of interest through mobile features such as texting instead of being set up by match makers or family members. However, we also learned in her book that this immediate and quick access to intimate relationships can easily cause distrust and breakups as well.
