“Interactive Inquiry” is the result of a one year-long research project, which revolves around the research question: How might we inquire into how an individual’s reliance on their mobile phone is influenced by their environment. The form in which the inquiry takes shape is that of a public installation. The installation is thoughtfully designed to facilitate simple types of interactions – that is pasting stickers and optional writing comments or thoughts– with the aim of encouraging participation from the public. The three prompts are carefully selected to provoke contemplation regarding each participant’s personal relationship with their mobile phone.

The installation features black foam core board with white gloss acrylic texts, mounted on the wall.
