FINDINGS

At the Markthal we noticed that:

  • about half of the people there eventually would take out their phone or camera to take a picture
  • people walk with their camera app open, looking for photo-opportunities
  • people don't take time to look at anything, only through their camera even when they're with other people
  • people don't notice other people around them when on their phone
  • which causes them to move very slowly and bump into other people
  • people follow each other to take the same photo's
  • people take photos of everything, even boring/normal things
  • once the picture is taken, the moment is gone

Conclusion:

  • even when people are physically present in an area with interactive beings and social elements, they're not completely mentally focused on their surroundings (even though they're there as visitors).
  • they're more focused on their reality through their screen and on what they can share online.
  • they're alway busy with their online profile and not so much with their physical self.
  • people don't live in the moment or take time to actually look at where they are


At the library we noticed that:

  • almost all people have either a phone or laptop at their side at all time
  • most people do not have books with them
  • people are still busy with snapchat, instagram, facebook, etc.

Conclusions:

  • people go to the library to have a quiet space to focus on their work, but cannot be detached from their digital devices.
  • even when they're looking for a place to be alone, they still need to be a part of happening.
