Exploration 12

My journey to Brighton for some shopping is like reading a novel. It is like reading the city and I am amazed at things I saw.

From the trees to:

1) People on mobile phones
2) Restaurants with catchy phrases
3) Street names that I am curious to know the history behind
4) Road post alien to my country
5) Sign post that seem to be forcing me to move in a certain way
6) I notice I interact with my moving screen better than the man sitting next to me in the bus.
7) Everything is paved and tarred. Where is the earth
8) The food has a short life span wonder what happens to it after the expiry date.
9) Traffic lights
10)Every bus has a screen advising where it is going. I want to know all those places.
11)Newspaper headlines on billboards, static screens
12)Houses
13)Fountains (Where does the water come from is it salty?
14)Parks
15)cars
16)Almost every shop has a sale tag
17)Blue sky.

And below are other images of the things I saw











Here are the things I have noticed on my way to do some shopping in Brighton as part of a Moving Screens class project. To me it was reading the topography of the city and the various screens that point and control our movement and understanding of our journey. The signs are in our everyday life (the sign post, the bus ticket and typography, the people and the clothes they wear) and the mind seems to be in search of words of identity of all these things we see. The mind is ever at work even in the shop trying to read and understand the expiring dates of various foods and the mobile phone itself a moving screen we depend on ever demystifying the QR codes. A journey of ten minutes is like reading the city and failing to understand it or at worst ignoring most of its messages. Here are the pics.
