Based on an understanding of design as a device that operates alongside mass communications in shaping discourses and subjectivities - understanding its praxis as a mediation technology in the standardisation of bodies in networked societies - this project promotes investigations into the ways in which technoscience, especially in the period marked by the digital transformation of cultural practices, affects regimes of visibility and collective memory.

Considering the growing and irreversible predominance of the digital environment as a setting for scientific and historical research, this research project aims, from the intersections between design, public history, graphic memory and digital humanities, to build technically and financially accessible project methodologies for initiatives to digitise collections and archives - analogue and born-digital - and make them available in open content and free access systems on the internet. Of an extensive nature, this research front dialogues with undergraduate courses through its intersection with the extension project Wikidesign: research methods in design history for Wikipedia, which encourages scientific initiation through collaborative research methods for the production of entries published in the open encyclopaedia Wikipedia.
