About this app
By Martin Adolfsson & Daniel J Wilson
Description:
Document your existence - one minute per day.
minutiae is an anti-social media app that helps participants capture the undocumented ordinary moments of life -- moments you would otherwise simply forget.
////////////////////////////
HOW IT WORKS
////////////////////////////
1. Once each day, at a random minute, all minutiae participants around the globe receive an alert simultaneously.
2. You have exactly one minute to respond to the alert and open the minutiae app.
3. Capture whatever is in front of you, there and then.
4. Once you’ve documented your moment, you have 60 seconds to explore previous moments. Both your own and those of one random stranger you are matched with each day.
4. Repeat for 1440 days (once for every minute in 24 hours).
5. The final outcome of this long-term collaboration between artist and participant is a digital archive of all of your captured moments, with the option to turn this archive into a physical book.
**** To prevent receiving alerts during night time, activate "Do Not Disturb" mode***
////////////////////////////////////////////
THE minutiae MANIFESTO
////////////////////////////////////////////
YOU ARE NOT YOUR TIMELINE
Social media was supposed to keep us in touch with our friends but has instead turned us all into unwitting monkeys filling out the world’s longest consumer survey.
Facebook doesn’t want your money. It wants your time.
minutiae is a response to our current moment: an anonymous anti-social media app that forces its users to document the in-between moments of life.
A collaboration between artist and participant that retrieves forgotten moments and celebrates the ordinary.
minutiae IS NOT A NORMAL APP
minutiae do not provide instant gratification
minutiae is not interested in your data
minutiae will not increase your efficiency
minutiae is not a popularity contest
minutiae is (let’s be honest) not for everyone
minutiae IS YOUR AUTOMATED SELF-PORTRAIT
minutiae is random moments.
minutiae is forgotten memories.
minutiae is a marathon, not a sprint.

Edit: They sent an email about how to fix the issue for Android users! Thank you so much!! I really want to love this app. I downloaded it because a friend had it, and I thought it sounded fun. I seem to be having issues though. I didn't get any notifications twice when I had my phone in my hand using it. It almost seems like I only get notifications when my screen is off. One time i clicked on the notification while the alert was still sounding and it told me I was too late?

I like that you have no time to think through what you're going to take a picture of or when to take the picture. Also getting to see another person's quick take is interesting. As of late January 2024 the app notification sounds, but when I take a picture the app simply closes and has since been kicking me out. I don't know if a picture is being taken because the app won't start open.

I absolutely love the idea of this app but the execution is bad. You only have 60 seconds from when you see the notification to open the app and take a picture, which results in a lot of black squares. Maybe increase the time limit to two minutes? Even with my notifications on with sound it's difficult to open in the time limit. I opened up Minutiae today in the time limit and still got a black square. Feels bad man.
