The bureau of push notifications, Masters thesis project
Master practical thesis project

A web-based interactive performance coupled with digital inquiries of the personal relationships between push notifications and people.
Picture this, looking busy or unreachable for the sake of it, picking up your phone without any explanation when talking to your friends, shifting your body uncomfortably as if undoubtedly what’s playing out on your phone is more important than the moment, mindlessly reacting to every prompt. ‘The bureau of push notifications’ is a Satirical reflection on our relationship with push notifications.
