Description
Inspired by the format of Frequently Asked Questions, Swipe presents questions about the smartphone that users might (or might not) have frequently asked themselves. To reflect the endlessly diverse and dynamic content users swipe through on their smartphones daily, these questions are not followed by single sentences but by image collections consisting of Internet-found visuals. Contemporary writers and artists help you embrace your newly acquired knowledge by guiding you through reflective visions of the age of the smartphone.
In Swipe, you will encounter five categories that offer guidance:
Survival discusses how the smartphone helps users survive and whether it itself will survive. Sense of Self reflects on how the user’s identity is constructed by the smartphone, and vice versa. Habits focuses on the user’s daily use of the smartphone and how its constant presence shapes daily life. Resources addresses how nature and users empower the smartphone. Finally, Existential Crisis looks at how the smartphone is used to escape the anxieties of real-life.
