#173 of #thesalon ⏳⏳⏳ … “But perhaps in a time where any claim can be confirmed or denied via the internet (depending on where you look), the salon’s walls must soak up these claims and allow them to be tested in public at the slower rate of the salons of old. In writing facts and claims on the wall and sanding back them back if they are refuted, a map of contentious (and non contentious) topics will merge slowly over time. Charting the topography of the salon a room for debate.” … ⌛️⌛️⌛️ By Oscar Maguire
#cube172 of #thesalon is considers physicality intervening in the intangible of digital interactions: 📲 "… the eyes, the eyebrows, the tone, the smile, the body language… once again become essential within the reimagined Salon. Physical interaction and conversation intercepts the visitor’s daily digital feed and the infinite possibilities of shared language and thought are played out across the room. Words and laughter linger between groups… what more can we learn from the body behind the digital screen? 📲 BY EMMA COLTHURST @emcolthurst @bartlettarchucl
#171 of #thesalon 😳😳😳 … The time-honoured key to a good conversation is an ability to relinquish this sense of self, and forgo the trappings of ego that accompany a perceived ‘public’ image. One learns to feel both vulnerable and comfortable. Could the best way to invite genuine openness and connection be to strip strangers of any physical remnants of social formality? … 😳😳😳 By Jack Sweet @sweetiepie2017
#170 of #thesalon 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ … Conversations are compressed and expanded as members walk. Crosstalk and tangential inspiration occur when passing through these acoustic pockets, where groups in deep discussion are underway. … 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ By Jonathan Wren @_jonathanwren
#cube169 explores the influence of digital conversation tools on the experience of the contemporary Salon: In an increasingly globalised world and ubiquitous social media we continue to build more and more international relationships – the people we are geographically close to and the ones we enjoy debating with are not necessarily the same. Taking this social change in consideration, contemporary salons could be adapted to accommodate conversations of people that are not in the same place. Conference Call is a Salon where the architecture has been modified or augmented to host multiple Skype or Facetime calls at the same time. This Salon spans between different countries and time zones uniting people across the globe to encourage conversations and intellectual gatherings. BY @thebakerloos #volume64
#cube168 opens up our entries of “The Salon” for the outdoors: 🌱 “Ideas are meant to be shared. Not limited to selected individuals, they should be free to bounce from curious mind to curious mind. We live in an era of shared knowledge, let us tear down the walls of secluded intellectuality and make ruins out of past constructs. Out of these ruins flourishes a new kind of Salon, one that has no door to close, no curtains to shut. A Salon where anyone thirsty for exchange can replenish without fear of rejection. A safe space for the 21st century.” BY SAMUEL JACCARD AND KIMBERLEY BERNEY @epflstudents
