Thoughts on Mass Observation 2011

This year we have had a good response to the request for views of the University, recorded simultaneously. The last entry here comments: 'To my right, three students are standing with notepads in hands most likely jotting down the same things I’m scratching into this sheet of paper'. What is fascinating is that, although the students are looking at the same thing (the University itself), each individual sees something completely different. The effect of reading them all is of looking at a multi-faceted diamond. I hope you enjoy the view(s), and stretch further into the archive to see what was seen last year and the year before that!
