abstract
This chapter explores deconstruction and reconstruction as a technique for
understanding interactive experience and then applying it to the redesign and
recreation of experience on new media. It begins by looking at literary analysis
where it is normal to dissect texts to understand the techniques they use to
achieve aesthetic technique. This is re-enforced by considering an example of
graphic design before approaching a more extensive deconstruction of the experience
of real Christmas crackers and the reconstruction of that in a web version -virtual
crackers. Understanding the facets of deep experience allows a recreation in
a new medium.

Rezumat: Experienta utilizatorului in interactiunea cu tehnologia este
unul dintre subiectele de actualitate in domeniu. Inducerea unei experiente
deosebite este o incercare pentru fiecare proiectant. In capitolul
de fata prezentam o posibila cale pentru construirea unei interactiuni care
sa imbogateasca experienta subiectiva a utilizatorului, precum si modalitati pentru realizarea
acestui fapt. Pentru aceasta oferim exemplul unui caz de reconstructie a une
experiente realein spatiul virtual.
Cuvinte cheie: experienta utilizatorului, deconstructia experientei,
