Week Twenty-eight: Real

real: the physcial network | simple pretty

In today’s ever-increasing predilection for virtual interactions, Real – The Physical Network aims to preserve (and celebrate) all things material.

Participants submit (via the Royal Post) items of their choosing to be displayed in one of 100 claimable metal cages or “plots”*, which are on view through July 27 in London at 1-2 Royal Opera Arcade. The plots are also viewable at the Real website.

A clever project which may alter your view of (and perhaps lend thought to) social media postings going forward.

* plots are claimed and reserved through the Real website
