Description:
Document your existence - one minute per day.

minutiae is an anti-social media app that helps participants capture the undocumented ordinary moments of life -- moments you would otherwise simply forget.

Featured in the Financial Times, Wired, Monocle, and ARTE.

////////////////////////////
HOW IT WORKS
////////////////////////////

1. Once each day, at a random minute, all minutiae participants around the globe receive an alert simultaneously.

2. You have exactly one minute to respond to the alert and open the minutiae app.

3. Capture whatever is in front of you, there and then.

4. Once you’ve documented your moment, you have 60 seconds to explore previous moments. Both your own and those of one random stranger you are matched with each day.

4. Repeat for 1440 days (once for every minute in 24 hours).

5. The final outcome of this long-term collaboration between artist and participant is a digital archive of all of your captured moments, with the option to turn this archive into a physical book.

**** To prevent receiving alerts during night time, activate "Do Not Disturb" mode***

THE minutiae MANIFESTO
////////////////////////////////////////////

YOU ARE NOT YOUR TIMELINE
Social media was supposed to keep us in touch with our friends but has instead turned us all into unwitting monkeys filling out the world’s longest consumer survey.

Facebook doesn’t want your money. It wants your time.

minutiae is a response to our current moment: an anonymous anti-social media app that forces its users to document the in-between moments of life.

A collaboration between artist and participant that retrieves forgotten moments and celebrates the ordinary.

minutiae IS NOT A NORMAL APP
minutiae do not provide instant gratification
minutiae is not interested in your data
minutiae will not increase your efficiency
minutiae is not a popularity contest
minutiae is (let’s be honest) not for everyone

minutiae IS YOUR AUTOMATED SELF-PORTRAIT
minutiae is random moments.
minutiae is forgotten memories.
minutiae is a marathon, not a sprint.
