Faculty Technology, Policy and Management Department Multi Actor Systems Date 2013-09-02 Abstract This paper explores the sense of participation of a spatially distributed individual—in the intersections of physical and mediated networks. This sense is fundamental to an individuals’ experience as a participant in systems designed to this purpose including today’s social media and new media generations of infrastructures. Mediated networks facilitate migration of mind and feelings communicating information, knowledge and values through mediated interaction. Ongoing open-ended processes of simultaneous physical and mediated actions of an individual in everyday life pose new existential (identity) questions that suggest fundamental changes in the individual process of belonging (being-at-home) to self, others, and things in time, place and context. To explore the new sense of participation this paper introduces three concepts: trajectories, trade-offs, and individual distributed world to frame the sense of participation. The concept of trajectories depicts how existential physical migration and virtual migration trajectories conflate with each other. The concept of trade- offs expresses the relation between performance and significance of presence (participation) experience in the variety of merging on- and offline day-to-day interactions. The concept of an individual's distributed world delineates how being here and being there merge into one experience for an individual in day-to-day participation practices. Together these 3 concepts provide a conceptual framework with which to explore the sense of participation.
