The Allure of Alone

In this data exhibition piece, visitors were invited to enter a hut alone and to drop the window blinds between themselves and the rest of the exhibition.

While inside and alone, each visitor had the chance to reflect on their own choices for solitude and isolation. They also had the chance to explore data about the unprecedented number of hours we spend alone in the United States, with similar trends happening in many countries. When the visitor emerged, outside the hut they had the chance to reflect on ways that they connect and find community.
