Improving the Value of Archived Personal Content with Aesthetic and Reflexive Qualities

We aim to improve user experiences and interactions with digital content by applying reflexive and aesthetic interaction methods to personal content management systems. Three distinct content management systems are modeled and compared in order to identify how these methods conceptually apply to achieve specific benefits. Our early progress promises worthwhile improvements in user experiences of personal content, and the opportunity to crossover this approach into other topics, such as gaming and group dialogue.
