investigating boredom

2.1. Objects of boredom

I soon realized that an important factor in research of boredom, is finding some boredom to research on. In order to explore the topic, I have created some objects that can be used in a playful manner to experience different forms of boredom. They illustrate my different thoughts and ideas concerning the state of being bored. When played with, these objects should alter this state of mind from being undesirable, to something ritual in nature. They somewhat work as tools, whose purpose is to investigate if boredom can be some antidote for all the hurry and confusion in our everyday life.
