During visits at I developed a series of questions, that was based on documents and online material around this topic. Katarina Jazbec and Setareh Noorani initially joined in forming questions and initiate a series of informal interviews and conversations with frequenters and inhabitants around those spots.
+
+
to frequenters
sound and device
- Do you notice the sound?
- Does this sound remind you of something?
- How would you describe it?
- Can you mimic it?
- What is the meaning of the high pitched sound for you?
- Is the sound directional or spread?
- Does it change depending on distance and angle you are?
- Do you think the Mosquito alarm is 'smart'? Why?
embodied experience
- How do you feel about it?
- Are you noise sensitive?
- What do you sense in your body?
- Are you irritated when you are exposed to it for a prolonged time?
- In your imagination what form this sound has? Is it like a ghostly experience?
hanging out
- Why do you hangout here?
- What do you do when you hear the high pitched tone? Do you leave?
- Have you changed your frequent hangout spot because of that?
- What sounds would you like to listen to in the public space?
- In the city there are bats, rats, cats, dogs, birds that hangout as well. Do you ever see animals passing by?
- Do you think animals are also bothered by the sound?
negotiations
- Do you feel unwelcome here?
- Do you hear complaints from the inhabitants for your presence?
- Have you been approached by somebody and had conversation about nuisance?
- Were you introduced to other alternatives? Like the youth social workers?
- How was it before in the neighborhood for you?
- What would make possible to renegotiate the act of 'hanging out' with the inhabitants?
- Did you ever file a complaint for the sound?
to inhabitants
activation and device
- Do you know about the Mosquito device?
- Can you hear it?
- How is it activated/switched on?
- Who controls the buzzer?
- Do you get updates for the results of the use of the mosquito?
- Do you experience nuisance from the device?
- Who decided to use it?
- Do you have children or young friends that visit you? Do they hear this sound and are they annoyed by it?
nuisance problem
- What is happening in your area during the night that you don't like? Can you describe the situation?
- How did you address the issue at the first place? Did you ever talk to these young people?
- How did you complain about it? Did you use some app? Or did you make a phone call?
safety
- Do you feel safe now after the use of the Mosquitos?
- Is the device a good and safe response to the yearlong problem of loitering youth?
- Is the neighborhood better controlled now?
- Was any other solution applied in the past?
- This hangout seems very cozy for young people. Your home is next to a designed pleasant hangout. What do you think about that?
+
to both
- Do you hear the Mosquito behind the walls or windows? Is the sound absorbed in the walls or water?
- In what perimeter do you think the sound is emitted? Do you stay out of the range?
- How loud do you think it is?
- Do you think this device is 'smart'? Why?
- Are any of your freedoms restricted because of nuisance/noise?
- Why you think these streets were chosen for installing these devices? Is there some history of anti-social behavior there?
- Did you encounter other similar interventions in this area in the past?
