Signs for seeing
2022.
Our commuting walks are saturated with signs, signs for cars, for bikes. Telling us where to go, where not to go.
What if signposts and signages carry suggestions of where and what to see for pedestrians?
This project is an intervention on city signage to show a few ways of filtering the interesting pieces of moments in the city life. Everyone is living this repetitive life day after day, with their eyes either looking forward to their destination, or down on their phones. Even sidewalks are regarded as liminal spaces that are used to get from point A to point B. How might we transform the way we view our public spaces---as stops for human to set free our eyes and minds? People should know that as mundane and repetitive every day is, the ability of making it interesting comes from within, not our phones or a good sunny day in the park. But how do we navigate our everyday life?
The system consists of four
parts.
Shifting Angle,
Shifting Focus ,
Shifting Scenery,
Shifting Pace
