Abstract:
Taking the thesis of Anna Malinowska and Toby Miller about the current phenomenon of “increasing emotionality of the media world and its infrastructures” (Malinowska & Miller, 2017, p. 660) as a point of reference, I want to explore further this phenomenon in context of human-technodigital objects’ encounters, especially those where the voice interface is being used. Defining affect as pre-social intensity that modifies, I will try to look for new affective forms of human-technodigital objects’ encounters and ask questions about the possibility of designing an affect, and about what it could mean.
