That’s the crux of Curious Rituals, an ebook from the Art Center College of Design (by Nicolas Nova, Katherine Miyake, Nancy Kwon, and Walton Chiu) that illustrates the odd, often inhuman gestures that technology has convinced us all to adopt, and the way these practices impact our social lives. It features moves like the Halfway Courtesy--checking out a grocery store, you remove a single earbud to express some level of attention to the clerk--and the Periscope--at a concert, you lift your phone above the crowd to take a photo. Glance around the room, and you’ll see that these glowing periscopes have entirely reshaped the aesthetic of the event.
