Project completed! Here’s the Curious Rituals book (PDF, 20Mb). It describes the gestures and postures we observed, introduced by an insightful essay by Dan Hill and followed by a design fiction by Julian Bleecker and the script of the film we produced.

Interesting little PDF about some observed things that we humans do now related to the over abundance of technology in our lives. https://curiousrituals.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/curiousritualsbook.pdf

>>2348 >>2349 Really interesting. A lot of points make me feel totally out of touch with the world though, I haven't at all bothered with smartphones and tablets nor do I realy want to. Thanks for sharing this.

Oh I really like this, it's super interesting. Some parts also sounds super cyberpunk. >The Third Arm: Not exactly a gesture, this corresponds to the user leaving her >phone close by at any given time, even during sleep. The device becomes, in this >instance, a digital extension of our body, or a not-too-distant prosthesis if you will, >accessible whenever it is needed. >We are part of The Wired, >and not just intellectually, in terms of our projected persona and identity, but >physically. The body is making The Wired visible, legible. Tracing the articulation >of the hips, hands and arms is really tracing the seams of The Wired.

>>2348 Going by the introduction, the project seems very intriguing. It makes you wonder what kind of behaviours will develop with the emergence of virtual and augmented-reality technologies. It would also be interesting to view how technology has altered our manner of speech. Thanks for sharing.

>>2350 I know what you mean. I don't intend on upgrading from my flip phone and half the time I don't even have it with me. I wonder if I am missing out on something or free of an addiction to connection or both.

>>2350 >>2366 What do you guys like about "cyberpunk"?

>>2353 I think I'm gonna start sleeping with my phone in another room. Odd how unnerving it is to have your behaviors outlined.
