| Description: |
Consumer culture and new technologies drive people to upgrade smartphones long before obsolescence is an issue. This creates a surplus of pocket-sized computers with vivid displays, a host of sensors and no clear-cut purpose in the world. The objective of this project is to radically influence how people understand their smartphones by reconstructing the context through which they are perceived. |
