These included images, text, audiovisual media, environmental sounds, computer interactions, and game design elements. These varied approaches were used to address the challenges of fragmented and nonlinear data, it helps to provide context through audiovisual files. By developing reflexive practice and exploring poetic inquiry as methodology, the project addressed to reconnect the fragmented and nonlinear data.
