NOSO is an online group which which has been set up to provide “temporary disengagement from social networking environments. The NOSO experience offers a unique opportunity to create NO Connections by scheduling NO Events with other NO Friends.”
On the platform you set up an account but you are listed simply as a number and without a picture. The NOSO team then arrange events called NOSOs, which take place in designated cafés, parks, libraries, bookstores, and other public spaces. Participants – whose identities remain unknown to one another – agree to arrive at an assigned time and remain alone, quiet and un-connected, while at the same time knowing that another “Friend” is present in the space.
By the very nature of the programme are these people however not participating in the phenomenon they seek to detach themselves from? Bunch of damn hypocrits!
