I had a moment...

...today. I just wanted to be by myself. And the only possible way was to stay back at work. But yet...my phone was still there..the computer was still turned on and it reflected me back to one of our readings from week 3 (Zelfde, J. V., 2012. "The aspatial city." The continuous partial everywhere. http://juhavantzelfde.com/post/23506562343/the-aspatial-city.

The only way to escape would be through this little monster...
the Faraday Tent.

It was created by Sarah Faraday for her desire to 'a right to silence'.  I feel like we are so overexposed and overstimulated by technology at the present time, there comes a need to just shut it all off, (if only for a brief period, to get away from it all).  When technology becomes more and more integrated in our lives - yes, even more so than it is now! - will we all need a Faraday tent built into our dwellings to give us the chance to exercise our right for silence?
