Final Concept: What happens when the physical and digital worlds of familiar strangers start interfering and merging? And when people start entering each other's digital spaces, snooping, eavesdropping, hijacking, invading? I developed the final concept along these lines.

Mobile Snoop Service allows you to snoop into fellow travelers mobile phones and read text messages, view images and listen to conversations while traveling.
The only rule to remember is: the more you snoop the more you will be snooped upon.

Mobile Snoop Service is a critique of the information content pervading public space. It arises from the anxiety that in a not so distant future, we might need passwords to enter any public space, which is shared by people, technologies and a large amount of networks. Increasing digital realms lead to tighter security systems which probabaly make us more and more vulnerable in public spaces.

'Exaggeration furthers understanding.' By registering for the Mobile Snoop Service, you are given permission to
exchange and embellish each other's social data. As community members you are challenged to both expose as "unvarnished truth" the social relations of other members while maintaining the vital bonds of the community.
