Abstract
Following the research field of Computer Mediated
Communication (CMC), we explore and expand upon the
notion of media richness. We consider the term outside its
ordinary domain of conventional communication mediums,
such as email, phone or video calls. We focus on minimal
communication, and the qualities of suggestive interactions
that mediate communication. We introduce Knock-Knock
as a novel, shape-changing communication medium, and
use it as a rhetorical tool to reflect upon the notion of media
richness. In doing so, we highlight the value of meaning
and language creation that suggestive communication
mediums make possible. Finally, we propose three
directions for the future evaluation of the richness
experienced in communication, mediated by suggestive
communication artefacts.
