Swipe

SWIPE is a book about you and your phone. The device that owns your data. That knows your friends. That has your credit cards. That hears your conversations. That follows you everywhere. And that you can't go a day without it. Modern phones are left without a printed companion that helps users navigate their phone. SWIPE is here to help.

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.
