"Avoiding
eye contact for one seven day period'
Proved
to be harder than I thought. A lot of my friends thought I
was just
acting weird or paranoid. After some two to three days I found
that instead
of talking to someone and staring at the floor, I could focus
on their
mouths or ears and this may not be so obviously difficult
for both parties.
Other tricks I used was to wear sunglasses, behind the shades
I could talk
to someone and stair into the wall and not effect the flow
of conversation.
The highlight of this work was on the fifth day when I went
on a planed trip
with ten fellow students in a van, this close encounter became
an event in
itself. I recorded a disk explaining my findings but I feel
that this piece
works best simply as a statement.
