NOT AVAILABLE
Let’s face it: with mobile technology made so advanced and convenient, we all have subconsciously been addicted to mobile devices, or at least came across one. People these days get so caught up in the World of Mobile Devices that they become unavailable in the real World, hence the title of the project. Not Available has three chapters that lightheartedly reflects how our society recognizes the addiction, but refuses to be independent from it. Maybe even some food for thoughts for the readers.
PROJECT BY Tammy Koh
CHAPTER ONE METAPHOR Metaphors describing mobile phones addictions are portrayed literally. Giving hyperbole to the metaphors for some fun. Now tell me, is it still okay to be ‘trapped in your phone’?
CHAPTER TWO Behind That Selfie (BTS) Our physical social interactions have been increasingly been replaced with mobile phones. We often see how people are close online. However, is it really still the case offline? BTS shows what goes on behind that selfie we see posted online.

CHAPTER THREE Auto-portrait I admit, I’m also a mobile phone addict. The following are real life experiences, starring me. They are so common to me I may have mistaken them for ‘daily normal things’. Maybe to you they are ‘daily normal things’ too?
