Starting ideas:

Possible continuation of working with locative media in city spaces (the not realized element of my third thematic project), researching how does information shape spaces, and how do these layers of information communicate with space and with each other. How do we navigate through physical information?

animal-human-city how are animals perceived, what happens when the city is perceived as their natural habitat, antropomorphizateion of animals (pets), what belongs to "the wild", and what is "domesticated" in human-animal behavior. Where is the space of animals and who claims what. animal as meat, people as animals.

procrastinometer-a tool for measuring anxiety, unproductivity and frustration in today's working and living environment. How are our health and sanity affected by the shift of the working space

in combat with online semantics software that measures key markers in, for example, youtube videos, through speech recognition -prototype of a good internet citizen -customizing vocabularies of browsing

more defined outcomes will follow
