Myself and three others set out today on a journey to Melbourne Central. Our task was to notice, listen and record all mediated interactions/communications we encounter. At first i thought this would be an easy task, but it was a little more challenging than what I thought it would be. The majority of media we saw was all advertisements which made looking for other examples tricky. Also, it was difficult to determine if what we saw was in tact mediated interactions/communications. But after some time of walking around here is the list we came up with:
