9:25pm
Location: Massart Pozen Center, Gala for Art and Technology of New England
Significant Clothing: All black, except for a white t-shirt with the letter Aa in Helvetica underneath a black sweater. Classy.
Older man (maybe in his 40's) approached me while I was watching some video projections and asked me about my school career etc. He was balding and wore a grey suit and red(?) tie. We talked about rose gold and his tile company for a while. I told him I worked for A.T. Cross, and he told me he got a Cross pen for his Bar Mitzvah. It was sort of awkward. I should have told him I was a grad student. Shit.

a social experiment.
craigslist | missed connections in boston
Statement
I’ve decided to take an account of the most common places for missed connections to happen in Boston, and then frequent those places. I will modify my appearance in regards to my location (“cute artist in coffee shop” vs. “young professional walking down Mass. Ave.”), and I will be purposefully aware of who I make eye contact with, who I talk to, and where I am. My goal in this social experiment is to see if I can be acknowledged at least once on “Missed Connections” over the course of the month, and to discover if modifying myself in the process may or may not change the outcome.
