Restricting remotely

Title:

Restricting remotely

Maker:

Typology of knots/meaning:

I used different coloured threads to represent the switch from in-person to remote school, and also the moments when I increased the daily screen time. Also, knots represent the amount of time (1 knot = 15 min) of using a smartphone. The plan was to utilise volumic differences of other layer of yarns to represent my own anxiety towards remote work and all the confusion the pandemic caused workwise.

Recorded time:

1 year, 1.1.-31.12.2020

Concept of Quipu/personal significance:

I broght the Screen Time-app data (to materialize aspects of it), which reveals how much time my daughter spent on smartphone daily. Surprisingly, (after making the Quipu) I remember now better how much closer our family was during the times of remote school, whilst I was also more lost with my own PhD studies..
