Eyeballing: Phones for the autophobic
-
-
In our cellphone culture, lives the one who speaks. A dead phone belongs to a dead man. The more we speak, the more socialized we are. Clichés, of course, but clichés which don’t disappear and keep producing silence phobics.
“There are many people who suffer from Autophobia (the fear of being alone),” explained Sohui Won, second year at the Royal College of Art and Design in London. “They feel extreme pain when alone, emotionally as well as physically. But they will have to be alone in everyday life.”
So she designed different projects for those special moments: Talk to myself, Talk to trees, or Phonic to phobic. (via wmmna)
