- Street Report (publication series) is an ongoing project of detailed accounts or statements describing events and situations on the street by a Street Reporter, usually as the result of observation and inquiry. Initiated by Atelier HOKO, Faiz Bin Zohri, Cathy Hag and gideon-jamie. #1 .
Atelier HOKO (2002) is an independent research lab that focuses on the study of the growing disengagement between people, things and space. Founded by Alvin Ho and Clara Koh. Atelier HOKO’s encounters with public bins reveal how unexpected or “improper” use or interactions, no matter how minor, are rich areas for study and observation, sometimes humorously so. This well describes the role of a street reporter, to make sense of phenomena on the streets and find delight and meaning in doing so. We hope readers will go on their own note-taking discoveries whenever they are on the way to dispose rubbish.
