The images above illustrates a scene where family members or friends communicate through a transparent partition with a plastic cup connected by a string. This is how people communicate in the olden days and also prisoners in jail. Do we want to communicate this way? Without realising, this is no difference to blogging. We see them in pictures and we share our thoughts but there is a block in between. If this will to be an installation in a public area, hopefully the scenario will trigger people's mind and they would be more thoughtful and appreciate the time they can spend with their family or friends.
This is an experiment for people to feel the environment of spending too much time in front of the computer. They are required to wear a mask and they are not allowed to speak.Only communication through computers. They are place next to each other so that they can experience the feeling of having someone next to them and are restricted to talking. Would it not be suffering and a little stressful? Hopefully they would find it a torture and start to rely less on computers and communicate more face to face : )
