Subtalk is a social experiment which aims to encourage social interactions in the subways of New York City

SubTalk is a social experiment which aims to encourage social interactions in the subways of New York city. It´s an instruction based project where people are invited to change/exchange specific given objects (ex. throwaway cameras) while riding the subway trains. Such objects and instructions are given to participants on the starting points of subway lines which they must pass on to another passenger. These objects are not allowed to go over ground and must remain underground - within the subway network.
The objects will function as an interface for social interactions and at the same time they will document the interactions. We hope that such actions and exchanges will create happenstance interactions within the subway network.

How to Participate?
This project will be presented Saturday, September 15th at Conflux Festival, in Brooklyn, New York City. Presentation of the project will occur and packages will be distributed between 4.00 pm and 6.00 pm.
