ON LOITERING and other forms of in-situ computation

Loitering is the act of hanging about without any clear intent or purpose, historically this has criminalized (Loitering with the intent to conduct a crime), and today we see great effort put into organizing how we move about in the urban landscape. In this Special Issue we:
"observe and engage with the city in its shifting technological and social contexts, by spending time in public and semi-private spaces, finding ways to execute digital and performative scripts, encountering inhabitants and other forms of life, interacting with ubiquitous computing in the wild."

Making Lists

In order to explore public versus private interests we experimentet with writing through lists. The task was to loiter around Zuid Plein and make lists of observations, of "arbitrary" things, engaging with the infraordinary.

From this exercise I created multiple list, most of which from observations made inside the consumeristic kafkaesque maze known as the Zuid Plein mall.
