For this project, I followed a specific alga rhythm. The alga rhythm was to count the number of people on their cell phones, get on the nearest bus stop, get off at the next bus stop and repeat. In the process of familiarizing myself with this alga rhythm, it struck me how little the people on the bus were attuned to the actual bus environment. People were either on their cell phones, listening to music, or immersed in a book. Hardly anyone on the bus was communicating with the person they happened to be sitting next to. I decided to disrupt this pattern by interrupting as many people as possible on their cell phones by sitting next to them on the bus and asking them (as politely as possible) to have tea with me. Of course, most people refused, but a few did agree. When getting off the bus, I then looked for other people to have tea with on the way to the next bus stop. I ended up having tea with a police man and knocking on the door of a house and having tea with the woman who answered the door at her kitchen table. Lastly, I had tea in a cemetery where communication was impossible and where my own cell phone no longer had reception. Through this project, I hoped to encourage true communication and the slowing down of one's usual hurried day to take part in a now almost dated custom. Also, the tea I used is called "Constant Comment", which I thought was a perfect label for this study.
