Weekly 5

My project will consist of a journey that invites the user to practice a form of deliberate reflection upon our surroundings. I plan on having the user visit certain public spaces to ultimately become more aware of the subtleties around us by assigning them some tasks to a specific location. Because my objective is to increase people’s sensitivity to their surroundings and allow them to slow down, I think that this would rather have a positive impact on the physical space. I plan on using the mobile as a medium to allow the user to reach their destination, rather than using the mobile as the end goal. Some benefits of this concept include physical and environmental awareness, perhaps even social awareness if I implement tasks that focus on the subject. Some challenges include how difficult it is to direct tasks that should be more open-ended.
