We met to frame our intervention having had time to think more about our initial ideas. We further asked questions to ourselves as a way of clarifying our intentions and plan for our Thursday intervention!
Q1: what is the intention of our intervention?
A: to break the connection between the person and their smart phone to engage them in a dialogue about how they experience communication and transport
Q2: Why? What is the core of what we are trying to find out?
A: Are people actually satisfied with the way they communicate or do not communicate on public transport in bigger cities
A: would you rather stay on your phone ad why?
is this about anonymity, how we value relationships with people we don't know?
A: what is the "space" of commuting? can we imagine it as a liminal space? how does this affect the code and social rules that we construct and experience on public transport?
We decided that if we were to do a intervention we would do it from a point of clarity, as we were just working from our assumptions we decided to take the approach of combining our intevention with research to broaden our understanding of how everyones "everyday" experiences of traveling.
The questions that we asked are:
1. Do you often commute ?
2. What do you do typically on your commute ?
3. How do you experience other people on your commutes?
4. Do you feel like people are invading your personal space when they talk to you?
5. How do you feel when strangers compliment you?
6. So you feel limited by the social codes/norms on transport?
7. What rules do you think are important of transport?
