Transforming Orphan Spaces
Mobile phone has been described by Kenichi Fujimoto as personal ‘territory machine,’ capable of transforming any space – a subway train seat, a grocery store aisle, a street corner – into one’s own room and personal paradise.
Mobile technologies have removed the human level of interaction within public spaces, changing the way individuals interact in a space, which results to orphaned spaces.
At one level, one can stay connected to a virtual network, communicate and listen to music; at another level, to provide a certain amount of privacy.
People plug out from the physical space the moment earbuds from a mobile device is used. Mobile technology becomes a tool to organize space, time and boundaries around the individual in public spaces.
