Proposal Offline Offline is a research programme proposing to develop human tools and resources to avoid 24/7 work patterns and availability. My proposal seeks to look at the human issues affecting convergence, the fact that we carry over patterns of behaviour from one technology to another which are inappropriate. Practically, I am examining the notion of what public and private spaces are. In terms of the project I want to carry out a critical response to the propaganda associated with new technologies. In essence I will be developing a public campaign and resource which highlights problems with new technologies. This will be developed through performances, meetings, research and proposed practical tools (web site, print media). Close Click here to close this window
