THE
RESEARCH
WHAT IS THE RESEARCH?
A longitudinal inquiry conducted from inside the experiment. The researcher is also the subject, reconstructing everyday systems of attention, memory, work, creativity and connection without the smartphone as default infrastructure.
WHY REMOVE THE PHONE?
The phone is treated as an environmental condition, not merely a device. Removing it makes its displaced practices, habits and dependencies easier to observe.
RETURN TO THE REAL
Rediscovering material practices, analogue scholarship, creativity, attention, slowness, boredom, presence and ordinary life.
OBSERVATION FIELD / AWHAT IS BEING OBSERVED?
Attention, autonomy, material life, creativity, connection, identity, work, meaning and habit.
METHOD FIELD / BHOW DOES IT WORK?
Autoethnography, longitudinal observation, field notes, video diaries, photographs, artefacts, logs, experiments and journals.
