(Also appears on his blog)
I thought that his idea was very revolutionary since technology has become so fundamental in day to day living all because of the smartphone. I thought it was great feedback when someone mentioned that it may be useful to make negative commentary on having a smartphone because I feel that it goes better with his main idea of commenting on how people are so disconnected from one another because of a stupid phone. Rather than isolate the people who do not have smart phones, maybe he could find a way to make them feel more included in the project and even more empowered that they DONT have a smart phone.
Something he mentioned was that he wants people to get involved with his project. A way to do that may be to create a sort of "advertisement" for your project. Maybe he can start by posting things around mason gross that require a person to use their phone to go to a specific website that may have information about the exhibit or whatever other information he wants to disclose...almost like a sort of prequel to the work. There was a student who posted things around Mason Gross possibly a month or so before their exhibit opened last year. It was something that related to their project and there may still be signs up for it...There was a sign on the tech help desk in the computer lab that read, "reserved for 7 minutes in heaven." Other posts were witty comments that had to do with where they were posted around the gallery and Mason Gross. I'm not sure how much extra work that would be but I thought if it's possible then it may be something that will help out. It's a very interesting idea and I hope that he keeps going in a positive direction with it.
