For this exercise I decided to take the idea of texting and messaging and turn it into an experimental physical posting exercise. \u00a0Rather than sending texts or messages to people I took post-its and wrote messages and posted them in places for these people to see them.<\/p>\n

My original idea was to write letters to people physically and just delivering them in person as a form of physical texting, but I realized I did not have that much to say to people. \u00a0I tried all different size lines and paper types and nothing seemed right. \u00a0So I had to figure out a way to modify it so that it could be visually appealing as well as functional for the purpose I needed it for.<\/p>\n

I decided to go with post-its mostly because of the functionality of them and because they are just the right size to send a small message on. \u00a0Functionally, they were perfect for what I was trying to do and it kind of helped shape my experiment even more. \u00a0The functionality of them is even in the name: “Post-its” because you are posting a little message for yourself or others, and it worked well for this because I was able to shape this exercise to bring awareness to the messages we send and how private they actually are. \u00a0Though there is a difference between posting something per say on Facebook rather than messaging them, but the idea that we spend so much time posting anything publicly like we do is a very interesting concept in the animal kingdom because it can turn something purely informational into a competition.<\/p>\n

As you can see these notes worked pretty well, though they were only a one way street, I was not able to incorporate a response mechanism for them but some of them I was able to leave without a response and, breaking the use of this communication method even more, someone I left a message for me responded over Facebook, and without even taking a second to think about\u00a0it, I responded to him via Facebook as well. \u00a0That just goes to show how normal it is for people to just conveniently be able to communicate with one another.<\/p>\n
