Constellations have been used for many different reasons — agriculture, navigation, religion, and meaning to name a few. People used to look up to the sky, at the imaginary outlines; they imagined stories and wonder. At this age of information, we’re often glued to our technological devices; left with little space to be collectively curious, and let our minds wander. Disc(h)over Constellations is about bringing back that sense of curiosity and wonder to our public spaces, and about creating collective experiences for commuters — encouraging social interactions.
As part of my process, I also did some observations around public transport stations to look at what people were doing and so on. People were mostly crouched down, looking at their phones, or hands on their sides or crossed. From this I inferred that people were either in their own technological bubble, or guarded.
