Abstract: In times of accelerating digital transformation processes, it is of crucial importance to convey the meaningfulness of digital work processes to stakeholders. In the current research, the authors provide means for exploring immersive digital interaction for collaborative meaning construction. Thereby, Knowledge Management (KM) activities comprise instantiating and guiding individual and collective sensemaking processes, focusing on the effects of aesthetics and embodiment, i.e. human senses, and the human body. When performing actions in digital sensemaking stakeholders attribute meaning to work tasks through embodied agency and aesthetic performative awareness. The contribution demonstrates how active and traceable knowledge generation can be induced. Knowledge generation needs to be accompanied by an aesthetic coding scheme targeting shared perception and knowledge elicitation.
