| CONNECTOYS ( 2008- ONGOING) |
Connectoys is a participatory project that collects small abandoned toys, thrown away, forgotten or lost in public space. Only visible to the watchful eye, these toys are like forgotten fragments and stories of our lives.
The project website is connectoys.net

You're invited to help with this project: be on the lookout, and when you found a toy or a playful object, take the toy with you (if possible, photographing it first on the finding place) and fill out the losttoy id tag on which you note the place, time, date of the finding and name the object. What story does this object remind you off? The toys will be added into a database with which people can play and create new stories. Physical objects are gathered to make installations. Download & print the Connectoys ID tags to start collecting. |
