infra-ordinary

Infra-ordinary is things that happen around us in our every day life. When you start your day things happen around you all the time, however how many of those things do you notice and question why it happens in that certain way. By being able to use your senses such as sight,smell,touch and hearing you can notice this infra-ordinary things that happen around you. However for your body to do it unconsciously it needs to be taught to "observe".In this project the idea is to block the sight of one of the eyes and making the other eye look through a magnifying glass. This will make the person using this device to learn how to look at things at close range to be able to understand what it is and by doing so they will see certain textures,such as the pavement that you walk on every day, and if you dont look at the things at close range you will see things blurry which also will make you see the world in a different way.
