Starting Point

During class we read a piece of the book 'An Attempt At Exhausting A Place In Paris' from Georges Perec. This artist went to sit down at a cafe in Paris in 1974 and wrote down what he saw. The ordinary daily things coming by. The question that was asked for this project was: will this still be able today? With all the digital divices that are now ordinary daily things in our life.



Design Research

Pip and I are both persons who are not very busy with our phone or other digital divices. Therefore we took a look at the world and people around us, in the public space. It was shocking how everyone looked down all the time, and did not even have notice of the small, funny and beautiful things that happened around them. We felt that we could make a difference here by capturing the 'little things in life', where everyone is so easy and silly about, but the actually no one sees it anymore.

We choose a typewriter and polaroid camera to capture this, because these two mediums are 'slow' nowadays which makes sure that you will be very busy with really looking at your surroundings before capturing it. This is in total contrast with how we use our camera and phone today, where we take 10 pictures of everything and write little messages without actual meaning sometimes.
