So you’ve mastered the sauciness required for requesting a cigarette and life now holds no challenge? Not so. Situationist is a new iPhone app that seeks to make your everyday life more thrilling and unpredictable.
Once you’ve downloaded it, it alerts you to the nearby presence of other app users and recommends you interact in random situations varying from “Compliment me on my haircut”, to “Help me rouse everyone around us into revolutionary fervour and storm the nearest TV station.” What could possibly go wrong?
Members upload their photos to be recognisable to other users, and pick from a list of situations they are prepared to have happen to them somewhere, some time. Like a grown-up version of Truth or Dare (but without the truth, presumably), it’s something to add to the list if looking for new friends. Or perhaps just new ways to stress the heck out of you in public.
And if you’re wondering why it’s called Situationist, it’s named after Situationist International, a radical movement that sought to transform everyday life and the world through experimental forms of behaviour. Glad you cleared that up for us.
