minutiae: Real Life 5.71

minutiae: Uncurated, unfollowed, unfiltered.

An art project created by Martin Adolfsson & Daniel J Wilson

Description

minutiae is an artistic endeavor that presents itself as an anti-social media app, aiming to assist users in capturing and valuing the ordinary moments of life that often go unnoticed.

How It Works

1. Once each day, at a randomly selected minute, all minutiae participants from around the world simultaneously receive an alert.
2. Within one minute, you must respond to the alert and access the minutiae app.
3. Capture whatever you see right in front of you, in that precise moment.
4. After documenting your moment, you have 60 seconds to explore both your own previous moments and those of a randomly matched stranger for that day.
5. Repeat this process for 1440 days, equivalent to every minute within a 24-hour period.
6. This long-term collaboration between the artist and participants culminates in a digital archive of captured moments, with the option to convert this archive into a physical book.

*NOTE* Notifications are synchronized globally for all participants. Consequently, there may be instances where notifications occur during nighttime hours. To avoid receiving notifications at night, consider enabling "do not disturb" mode on your phone.

The minutiae Manifesto

• You are not defined by your timeline. Social media was intended to keep us connected with friends, but has instead reduced us to unwitting subjects of an everlasting consumer survey.
• minutiae serves as a response to our present circumstances. It is an anonymous anti-social media app designed to compel users to document the moments that often slip through the cracks.
• This collaboration between artist and participant aims to revive forgotten moments and celebrate the ordinary.
• minutiae is not your typical app. It does not cater to instant gratification, data collection, efficiency enhancements, or popularity contests. It is not intended for everyone.
• minutiae exists as your automated self-portrait, capturing random moments and forgotten memories that represent real life in its uncurated, unfiltered, and unfollowed form.
• minutiae is a marathon, not a sprint.
