@theobjectproject

@theobjectproject is an online exhibition exploring the themes of childhood, changing social norms, pre-internet life, generations, memory, and technological change. The objects photographed for @theobjectproject were culled from the personal archives and collections of three University of Western Ontario graduate students. Flickr, an image and video hosting website, is the virtual venue for this exhibition. When visiting @theobjectproject , the visitor is encouraged to engage with the images by tagging or leaving comments and links to other related material. In addition, the images in @theobjectproject have been released under Creative Commons attribution and non-commercial licenses in order to encourage visitors to embed images in their blogs, or to include them in their own virtual galleries, on Flickr, twitter, facebook and tumblr. Interactivity on every level is welcomed and encouraged.
