This task asked us to focus on the act of “noticing”.This involved adjusting our awareness to a heightened level whilst still allowing a level of concentration to filter out stimuli that was not important or distracting.
we took to explore some levels of Building 80 to research in particular the ways in which students and staff were communicating using technology as well as observing the ways in which information was set up to be communicated to those using the areas of RMIT.
Some devices and observations included:
– security cameras
-Photocopiers (which we also noticed had people discussing, making small conversation around)
-a whiteboard in a hallway where students had worked on an assignment.
-Projector screens
-small screens outside lecture theatres with dates/times
-noises from the elevator
– posters with cartoons on them to advertise anime groups
– a student watching “family guy”
– music
-radio
– a tablet at l7 cafe with customers could interact with to earn points
– a virtual cue checker
– interactive service feedback machine
-laptops
– camera
-smartphone
