1. Why did you choose this space or object to photograph?

The central exit was my selected space as it represents the threshold between work and play for me. I’m usually only within the physical construct of the ADM faculty because of mandatory appointments like class or project meetings. Thus, being in school is somewhat dreadful since it meant that work has to be done. However, beyond this threshold, work becomes an option and I’m allowed to play and or relax. As cliché and stupid as it sounds, I feel more liberated when I interact with that space/threshold and push through those doors.

                            

2. What are some of the characteristics of this alternative virtual space you had created collectively?

It is a public space where the individual can contribute and interact with other contributors to give a host of perspectives about a specific topic, in this case, about a space, also known as ADM.

Due to the multitudes of sentiments conveyed about this physical space, #1010ADM can transcend its simple physical presence and is now personified online, in which specific places now carry their idiosyncratic features. For instance, as much as points of exits (doors and stairways) exists physically as a barrier between physical spaces, they are also synonymous with the notion of a gateway to another mind space – respite.

3. Under what circumstance will this alternative virtual space change?

This virtual space may change when contributors remove their content from #1010ADM, this is destructive as it creates a deficit to the online persona of ADM. In the event that everyone removes their posts, ADM then ceases to exist beyond its physical concrete walls and is void of attachments or sentiments.

4. How does this project relate to what we discussed in the lecture regarding co-creation, the concept of Do-It-Yourself (DIY), Do-It-With-Others (DIWO)?

This is almost similar to DIWO, only that sentiments are shared instead of ideas. This could also be a microcosm of the mechanics of DIWO and its benefits. #10101ADM could exist as an online persona of ADM only because its contributors had the incentive and stake to share. This made their contributions genuine and thoughtful. In the same sense, perhaps DIWO can only work if its contributors are equally invested.
