exersise 1 – Passing Notes in Person

My social breach was Passing Notes in Person. I wanted to do something that didn’t include taking  video documentation of myself doing something breeching in public because that’s nothing out of the ordinary so a written conversation between me and my loved ones felt more passionate and I wondered what the outcome would be.

A lot of my subjects found what I was doing silly, and knew me better than to start “notes” with them with questions like “Tell me about your Family” and “Are You Happy?”…. They gave me sarcastic answers as I tried to poetically pry (hack) them.

nat .. my playful friend

robert   .. i think he was high

tommy –tried his best to play “The Game”

Some conversations felt emotional, as I knew the subject already and had reasons to not ask them any breaching notes or questions but I did my best to try my experiment on different types of people in my life.

gio—My friend with benefits

craig–  one of my best friends
that secretly intimidates  me

kevin—  accidently broke his heart

One  of my subjects pretty much hacked me me.. I couldn’t handle their response and decided to end the conversation.

micah–  we both have a lot of experience with prescription drugs.. I wasn’t ready to go that deep for a school project

My last unexpected subject in physical space was a Tinder match who was kind enough to meet up in person. This was the only subject whom I had never spoken to (in person) until we Passed notes in Person:
