Producing my idea

an interface that allows you to write whatever you like. a message, a qoute ect.... once you write your message, you then recieve one fro, a previous person doing so. its place would be intended for an installtion, where it would grow the more people interact and contribute with it. the whole experience will be anonymous. the user gives something to recieve the same back.

it is vaguely following the interaction that happens in toilets. however this is a limited experience. you also have to participate to recieve anything, rather than just being a voyeur.

I decided that the interface should be placed where only one person at a time can see it, enabling privacy. I would create a fake toilet cubicle and the interface would go on the wall inside. It would replicate a real cubicle to try and get people into the mindset of the tone of writing in public toilets. It would be interesting to see if people left their names, a message like a post card. Or weather the majority will remain anonymous and write extremer thoughts. There's also the possibility of people changing their identity and pretend they’re something they’re not. E.g. Sex, race, age.
