Cloud of Cards Kit
5 Folders Cloud is one of many possible examples of software
implementation using the Cloud of Cards Processing Library and
exemplifies its use, server and software side. It is a version of
ownCloud with automated behaviours and event cascades, in
particular when linked to the associated 5 Connected Objects. In
effect, this variation on the cloud combines client-server architec-
ture with a distributed, almost horizontal peer-to-peer approach.
5 Folders Cloud is informed by the results of the research
project’s ethnographic research into the uses of the cloud, and
uses five action verbs to translate a number of motivations that
have been identified as potentially prompting users to drop files
and data into this technological setup. These verbs in turn are
used to refer to the main functions and names of five syn-
chronised cloud folders that serve the various file interactions.
Each folder automates digital procedures related to these
motivations.
Project developed
by Christian Babski (fabric | ch).
The library has been produced in the context of the Inhabiting and
Interfacing the Clouds joint design research project and is part of
the Cloud of Cards kit.
This research project was led by Prof Patrick Keller (ECAL)
and Nicolas Nova (HEAD – Genève).
