Abigail Chang Skeuomorphism, commonly referred to today as a graphical user interface, is a term of archaeological and architectural origin, where details from the past linger as ornamentation. As we become increasingly reliant on digital devices, screens can be examined as architectural elements that singularly translate apertures, portals, and reflections. Functioning as a window, the screen’s familiar flatness produces an opaque void, slipping into our domestic spaces. The screen could render the view of a landscape, transmitting bytes to a glass surface, or be read as the hollow opening of a hearth. It could be suspended above a place to lie down, allowing one to look up into a virtual cloud, beyond the boundaries of enclosure. Folding into the crevice as a vanity mirror, the screen could flicker on, replacing one’s reflection with the digital projection of a camera aperture.
