Bill Sanders
Chronesthesia (Tulving) or subjective timeReconnecting over devices?Bringing the experience to others?Separating from those they are with Live?
How are we Present if we are always checking in to other information and places? Are we shifting our energies to auto-documenting our activities through pictures and other actions to the detriment of the activity and connections that we are experiencing live?Photos outbound having a priority to live interactionSensory interruptions in local/socialFocus – closing off sensory input
Snapchat, Instagram, FlickrHow are we blowing up time and space through digital images and messages, blowing it up and turning it into shiftable bits of data so we are making different decisions with its Time and Place?
