Abstract

Our life is full of products that are designed to claim our attention. We learn to occupy every piece of time we have. We want to spend our time ‘useful’. We only have 24 hours each day and we even need to spend some of it on sleeping. This attitude of being occupied all the time seems to have a major downside. People are exposed to too much stimuli. Every day a Dutch person spends 8hours and 40 being occupied by products. In this technology addicted age, boredom is the most underappreciated emotion. This graduation project focussed on showing the beauty of- and rightful role boredom should play in our lives.
