Displacing the Familiar is a practice-based research project focused around the exploration of digital materiality. This writing is intended to give the reader an exposé of the thought process that has emerged out of my crafting and practice. It also presents shorter technical insights and examples of software used. This project takes it starting point in the joy of unpacking the digital technology. The urge to explore and understand the underlying processes that renders visuals material on the screen. How can a visual practice concerned with digital materiality work?

Med detta kandidatarbete vill vi skapa en koppling mellan vårt lyssnande och de osynliga processer som omringar oss i den digitala teknik vi använder vardagligen. Med Salomé Voegelins okonventionella syn på hur vi lyssnar på vår omgivning samt teorin kring AlgoRHYTHMS som utgångspunkt har vi genomgått en djupgående utforskning av denna relation.Genom att tillämpa Critical Making i en experimentell skapandeprocess med ambitioner´ att hitta en materialitet i det subliminala hittade vi istället ett samspel mellan två osynliga medier som tillsammans bildar en digital materialitet. / With this bachelor thesis our aim to establish a connection between our listening and the invisible processes that surrounds us inside the digital technology we use on a daily basis. With the unconventional views of Salomé Voegelin on how we listen to our surroundings together with the theory of AlgoRHYTHMS as a starting point we have undergone a in-depth exploration of this relation.By applying Critical Making in an experimental creative process with the ambition to find a materiality in the subliminal we instead found an interaction between two invisible mediums which together forms a digital materiality.
