There is no wrong way to Notice.
How to Submit
Use this link to add a note or photo to the shared folder.
What to Submit
A short note, a sentence fragment or single word, a photo, a photo with a few words, or a small physical item placed in a project vessel.

What to Notice
A sound, color, texture, or light; a moment you almost ignored; something ordinary or fleeting; something you can’t quite explain.
What Matters (and What Doesn’t)
There’s no right or wrong way to notice, spelling and photo quality don’t matter, you don’t need to explain your submission, and you don’t need to share anything personal.
Artist’s Translation Statement:
Contributions to Notice—including notes, photographs, and physical objects—are treated as traces of attention rather than personal narratives. Submissions are not presented as documentation or explanation of events, and they are not displayed verbatim by default.
Instead, I work with contributions over time, looking for patterns, repetition, texture, and absence. Materials may be grouped, altered, abstracted, or translated into other forms as part of the artistic process. Individual contributions may be combined with others or used indirectly, and they may not appear in a recognizable way.
All contributions are anonymized unless explicit consent is given, and no identifying information is intentionally highlighted. The project is judgment-free; there is no ranking, editing, or interpretation of what is “important.”
By contributing, participants acknowledge that their submissions may be transformed or partially obscured in service of the artwork, and that participation does not guarantee inclusion in a final exhibition or piece.
Notice treats noticing as a shared, everyday act and art-making as a form of listening.
This is a judgment-free project.
You can participate once or many times.
