DarkScreenTime (DST) / KaranlikEkranSaati (KES)

This is a trial event. It stems from my irritation by our indirect interaction with the world through "the screen" and from my desire to see whether we could be encouraged to leave our screens behind to see, hear, talk to the world around us more directly, hence without using a screen. (I am fully aware that I'm promoting this through a screen. Moving on...)

The time allocated on Sunday is DarkScreenTime (DST).
How can I join?Just leave your screens alone on Sunday from 1 to 4 pm during DST.

Also leave your comments, share your thoughts on the facebook event page or here.

What counts as a screen?
-TV-Computer screen-Cinema-Digital Watch-Digital Camera-Mobile Phone Screen-Information Screens (hard to avoid, I know)-Billboard/Ad Screens (even harder to avoid)This list can be extended. Try to use this logic as honestly as possible: Is there a way to do this without the screen? (A simple example is my bike computer that tells me the distance I travel on my bike. I could, however, try and estimate it by the signs I see around me, or by using simple calculation to find out my average speed, or by simply trying to guess the distance. So a bike computer does count as a screen. Well, at least mine does.)

FAQs:
Q: Can I use my mobile phone to call a friend?
A: Yes. Because essentially you are not communicating through the screen. However, you may not screen your calls or use your mobile phone as a watch/clock.

Q: Can I text or surf the web on my phone?
A: No.

Q: Does my Ipod count as a screen?
A: Yes, if you are playing games, wathcing films, surfing the web etc. No, if you are listening to music. But ideally if you wanted to listen to music without having to go through a screen you could try and find an analogue radio, tune in, and listen. Or find a street musician etc.

Bu bir deneme. Kaynagini benim etrafmizidaki dunya ile etkilesimimizin surekli olarak bir "ekran" araciligi ile gerceklesmesine sinir olmamdan ve gercek dunya ile daha dogrudan iletismeyi tesvik edebilmeyi istememden aliyor. Bunu bir ekran araciligi ile deniyor olmam ironik, biliyorum. Yine de denemek istiyorum.
