My “Detour” Experiences (A Message from the Artist)

Sometimes when other people’s conversations are audible, it can be distracting and annoying. Of course you can wear earphones to block out the sound, or go somewhere else, but I have arrived at a different approach, like taking a mental detour. What I do in such situations is simply write down the conversations that I can hear, as if I were a machine that takes dictation.
Amazingly, I find that my feelings of irritation soon give way to tranquility. And afterward I am left with fragmentary notes that are full of riddles… I find this practice somehow fascinating, though I am not quite sure why. What should I do with all these notes now?

Workshop Procedure

You can do this anytime, even alone!
There are four steps to taking this “detour”:

1.　Go to a place where there are strangers present.
2.　Attempt to spend time in a relaxing manner.
3.　You will start to pick up on conversations among people in the vicinity. Write down what you can catch, to the extent that your hand can keep up.
4.　After you have left the place, go back and read over your notes.

Notes
Keep distance (to avoid disturbing the others and protect yourself from airbone droplets).
