observation

Sitting on a Swiss train the other day, I became fascinated by this air pilot playing with his laptop PC and his tablet.

But it became even more fascinating when the guy fired up his iPhone:

This is a truly compulsive usage of technologies by an extreme user. But it was interesting to see how he combined certain sorts of interactions/app usage to certain parameters (screen size, presence of a keyboard, etc.). It was also curious to see how the mobile context (a train with a limited personal space) was not so problematic to accomodate the use of three displays at the same time.

So my first post won't be high tech subject. If anything its no tech subject. Which I think is great because most of what inspires us come from little observations of our daily lives. An Art expo by Maria Bill can constitute such an occasion.
We have our digital cameras and videos to capture the instant event, but art captures more and relays more about the event and the person who has observed this event.
Anyway here's an Invitation to fellow LIFTERS out there. If you are near or in Geneva, then you are most welcome. There's WIFI connection available so maybe someone with his MAC can blog about this.

SO:
