As the possibility of experiences approaches large numbers, the world begins to become lonelier, and we have less to relate to one another with.
The likelihood also does drop, mathematically. That's a shame. I love the discord feature from covid that let's you watch things together. A few shared experiences there.
The other thing i couldnt articulate well with words was that... Well this post totally gave me a new idea for an art project - looking at people's gazes in the crowd ar a concert and tracking them all with different, grouped colours based what they're looking at.
That's what I did with the header image. I had a lot of fun observing a moment of shared experience and identifying how it diverged, but was still, more or less, the same experience.
It's a good idea, though to be honest, I fear these "together apart" types of thing, you know? I don't think it's the same thing. Obviously, things are different. It can be rally useful if you're an ocean away, but I fear people use such things purely out of convenience, to watch together from two streets apart and just not get off the couch, you know? Which seems to me to reduce shared experiences.
I loved the header, and that sounds like a really unique idea! I can't wait to hear about the results :) Have fun with it.
Sometimes it is just enough to be in the same room, staring at the same screen with another :)
