What is a liminal space?
Space of transition and/or between two periods of activity. These places are usually crowded but are seen empty. They provoke a peculiar, sometimes nostalgic, even unsettling feeling in the viewer.
It’s a familiar location which, once viewed outside of its traditional context, acquires an uncanny atmosphere.
These places don’t really exist for themselves, they are often an in-between, the viewer isn’t supposed to linger or engage in any social activity there at that moment.
Liminal Spaces are banal, interchangeable. You shouldn’t even be paying attention to this place for more than a moment.
You get the feeling you aren’t supposed to be here.
Some examples of the Bot’s readings
Submit a place
Send a picture of a location to evaluate its level of Liminality.
You can also add commentary with the image (i.e.: what kind of space it is, what context was this picture taken in, where is the picture from…)
