| CONNECTOYS ( 2008- ONGOING) |
The Connectoys is a participatory project that collects small abandoned toys, thrown away, forgotten or lost in public space. Only visible to the watchful eye, these toys are like forgotten fragments and stories of our lives.
This project is currently in a startup phase and little documented. Some additional info can be found on connectoys.net (in dutch)

You're invited to help with this project: be on the lookout, and when you found a toy or a playful object, take the toy with you (if possible, photographing it first on the finding place) and fill out the toy id tag on which you note the place, time, date of the finding and name the object. What story does this object remind you off? The toys will be added into a database with which people can play and create new stories. Physical objects are gathered to make installations. Download & print the ID tags to start collecting. Connectoys ID tags (English) |
