Denne opgave er en undersøgelse af kommunikation af kompleks og emotionel akademisk data i interviewform, omhandlende migration og følelsen af hjem. Gennem et performativt kuffertdesign, søger opgaven at besvare hvordan en sådan data kan formidles i en multisensorisk, kropslig oplevelse. Opgaven anvender en iterativ designproces, som grundlag for undersøgelser af affekt, sanseetnografi, hjemlighed, samt emotionelt- og human-centered design. Den stiller spørgsmål til hvordan man kan kondensere den emotionelle essens af dataen, og besvarer dette ved at anvende en affektiv refleksiv analyse af interviewet, og teorier om forholdet mellem fysiske objekter og deres potentiale for at kommunikere affekter og emotioner. Opgaven reflekterer yderligere over vidensskabsteorien omkring situeret viden og positioneringen som aktivt deltagende forsker, i skabelsen af designs der kommunikerer emotionel data. Opgaven konkluderer, gennem et prototypedesign, at en kuffert indeholdende en samling fysiske objekter, kan kommunikere den emotionelle essens af et datasæt ved at skabe en multisensorisk oplevelse der anvender lyde, billeder og objekter til at opfordre modtageren til at reflektere over emnet migration i relation til deres eget liv.This paper is an examination of the communication of complex and emotionally laden academic data in interview form, regarding migration and the sense of home. Through a performative suitcase design, the paper seeks to answer how to communicate such data in a multisensory embodied experience. The paper applies an iterative design process as a foundation for investigations of affect, sensory ethnography, homeness and emotional- and human-centered design. It posits the question of how to condensate the emotional essence of the data, and answers it by applying reflective affective analysis to the interview, and theories on the relationship between physical objects and their potential for communicating affects and emotions. The paper furthermore reflects on the scientific theory behind situated knowledge and the position of the researcher as an active participant in the creation of designs communicating emotional knowledge.The paper concludes, through a prototype design, that a suitcase containing a collection of different physical objects, can communicate the emotional essence of the data, by creating a multisensory experience that uses sounds, pictures and objects, which encourages the participant to reflect on the topic of migration in relation to their own life.<br/
