A show about nothing.

I think a great example of noticing, marking and recording would be the writing of Larry David. A show like Seinfeld is dubbed “a show about nothing” when it should be a show about noticing. The characters are hyperaware of the most minuscule social conventions, such as a woman with “man hands”, or taking credit for a purchase when handing someone a salad, or even the way a person laughs. It’s qualms we filter out in our day to day life, yet David has capitalised on the sensation of noticing something, and letting it ruin the experience for you.
