Message in a Bottle

An artistic network where international users share their feelings through an artistic format (Poem, Sound, Drawing, Photo, Writing etc.) about homesickness anonymously and receive randomly assigned responses on the same topic.
A message in a bottle is about receiving a mysterious message without any information regarding location or time. By throwing a message in a bottle in the ocean, you are sharing your message without any idea about final destination or future reader.

This collaboration project is independent of big tech companies' influence, it promotes free expression and anonymity something that is becoming rarer and rarer in the online world.

On the left, there is a short video of the test event me and my colleagues have organised where we asked different students to participate by writing a letter on the topic. Moreover, we tested our local network system which is working by connecting your phone to our WiFi page provided by an Arduino. Then you receive a random generated letter on which you can respond and at the end, you are able to upload your contribution.

Screenshots of the website we used as a platform to collect the letters of our users. Since the website was coded from scratch and I have not published it online, I am providing visuals.

This is the "About" page where we have explained what we want to achieve with this project and how people can participate.

This is the ongoing collection where we are gathering the letters.

The "Random generator" page is where the user is assigned a letter to which they can reply and later on, can upload to the collection.

Put me in a team and I would love to be its leader!
