Abstract | Making the invisible visible in the world of mobile communication. The ubiquitous presence of mobile communication devices - and the fashion in which they are adopted by different cultures - is not only redefining the way people communicate but also the way they more generally behave. Mobile communication devices, particularly mobile phones, introduce a digital space overlapping the physical space of the body: the birth of this hybrid space brings along a number of social consequences, most of which still invisible, hard to map and to explain. Adopting a critical approach in creating wearable probes apt to explore and illustrate this space is here proposed as a valuable strategy in order to make the invisible visible in the world of mobile communication. In Fashion Victims we chose clothing as the medium for making this invisible world visible; we have designed a collection of garments that react (respond and change) according to the surrounding mobile phone calls. We want to see what would happen if our clothes - everyday objects that we carry on our person - were able to display this presence. The metaphor we have decided to use for visualizing mobile communication comes directly from nature: clothes, as a second skin, react to the environment and change in color. Here, as more and more phone calls are conducted in their surroundings, the clothes progressively and permanently change color. Fashion Victims subverts the expected behavior of an everyday object to create and raise awareness about the subject of mobile communication. By producing a physical result with every call, the mobile phone is revealed in all of its pervasiveness and intrusiveness: its tendency to violate the private space we potentially have within the public context. http://www.fashionvictims.org. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
