本文展示了一种适合非洲农村社区需求和功能的移动数字讲故事系统的开发。但我不是只关注艺术品和它是如何设计的，我还介绍了我的想法和观点，以及这些在实践过程中是如何变化的。我揭示了一个缓慢的过程，即发现跨文化实践不仅仅是理解用户或以一种独立的方式建立想法的原型，而且探索在实践过程中，根植于我们自己和我们文化中的预先存在的概念是如何被揭开的。这是一个学习的过程，在这个过程中，我们了解用户与我们自己的关系。该原型在肯尼亚的阿迪耶多进行了测试。
This paper shows the development of a mobile digital storytelling system that suits the needs and functions of rural African communities. But rather than focusing solely on the artefact and how it was designed, I also present an account of the ideas and perspectives I took, and how these changed in the course of practice. I uncover the slow process of discovering that cross-cultural practice is not only about understanding users or prototyping ideas in a detached fashion, but explore how in the course of practice pre-existing notions embedded in ourselves and in our culture are ‘unconcealed’. It is a learning process in which we learn about users in relation to ourselves. The prototype was tested in Adiedo, Kenya.
