Making the Invisible, Visible. Part one.
Initially for this project I had no idea in which direction to take it. I began By walking around the local area within Brighton trying to adopt some kind of narrative of which I was yet to figure out. By taking photographs of my journey, I found that I was continually looking down at my phone which made me become more aware of how many people I had walked past that had also been looking at their devices rather than where they were going. Whilst concentrating on documenting my journey through taking pictures of my feet, I walked into a lamp post which consequently sparked the question, 'Why didn't anyone warn me?'. For my interactive QR codes, my current frame work involves Having QR code warnings on the floor to warn any unaware users (who are completely dissolved into their devices) or any 'inspecting dangers lurking ahead so that they can do their best to avoid them. The things that could be integrated include warnings about; road crossings, oncoming traffic, trip hazards, trees, lamp posts, litter, dog mess and crowds of people. I have thought about multiple ways of using the QR codes as warnings. At first I was prepared to make audio recordings of sirens, car horns, shouting or car crashes that could potentially shock the person using the QR codes into looking up from their device into the world around them. After this I thought about warning signs, similar to those you see every day (i.e. wet floor signs) that could warn you about things that you would either not have even thought about or things you shouldn't have to be warned about. Continuing on from this, I have been looking at making short GIFs which could add more of a narrative to the general idea of this project.
