The idea for the flip chart device came from train timetables in railway stations. The original timetable was a huge information interface comprising individual pages of letters. Before the arrival of the electronic screen, the flip chart was the most efficient means.
But it was also the most iconic device to represent the specificity of the transport occasion.
So I searched for an open-source design for a page-flipping device and adapted it, changing the images on the page that displayed the letters alone, and displaying the behavioural activities of others I observed in the non-place on the page.
The page flip device becomes a vehicle to metaphorically become the place and space where the whole Non-place takes place.
