Department of Lost Notes attempts to capture the impact of receiving large amounts of emotionally charged data (texts, poems, quotes, emails) from the perspective of a digital device.

This work archives community submissions to construct a collective experience of isolation and distance. In each iteration, people in the local community are invited to submit notes from their phone, which make up the text of the work.

  Department of Lost Notes operates from a speculative position that imagines a smart phone re-organised by the digital interactions, social intimacies and mundanities that are carried in pockets and hands everyday. This operates as a portrait of the community, via correspondences that are ordinarily invisible.
