“We experience our daily environments through the lens of assumption fueled by past experience. Out in the world, we see what we decide to see, we see what helps us make sense of our world. The WayMarker project breaks down our self imposed walls of perception by giving us an alternative perspective on our daily interactions.”
Waymarkr has the whiff of another Web 2.0 beta but in fact it’s a kind of art project where you wear your mobile phone, your phone continually takes photographs which are uploaded, automatically, to a server, giving you a new perspective on your world.
“We think that there is a certain beauty in the everyday that gets overlooked in our daily routine. Our memories and perceptions are selective. They have to be for us to get things done. Leaving the Waymarkr running while going about your business or using the Waymarkr to document a special event will help you see what transpired in a different light,” say the Waymarkr people.
The project is run by Mike Bukhin and Michael DelGaudio. All power to them.
