The experience of a visit to a busy cafe for most people casts them as temporary player within a theatre centred around the ordering, preparation, and service of food and drinks. More often than not things go completely to script, however, as is the case with many places of transient consumption, there are moments of confusion, misplaced orders, and the temporary loss and recovery of possessions.
Lost and Found is an exhibition of work by visual communication students responding to reflections on what it is to lose something for it later to be found.

FREQUENT HIGHS AND LOWS
Technological developments have progressed from wired landlines to wireless mobiles phones with apps such as WhatsApp enabling us to send messages, videos and make calls. Although very convenient and efficient, it is annoying to lose signal in the middle of conversation with the consequences for a disrupted discussion. This exhibit portrays the experience of losing and finding a signal and the interruption and frustration this creates.

WHAT HAVE YOU LOST IN YOUR BAG
Despite placing possessions safely in bags, it is easy to lose track of certain things requiring the owner to rummage around inside to find an item or to be forced to empty out the contents of the entire bag. The exhibit uses film to explore this everyday experience of lost and found, recording three familiar scenarios of losing and finding items in three different sized bags.

THE ART OF EXPLORING WITH A MAP
“Paper maps are declining due to digital apps and devices such as satnavs and mobile phones as we don’t engage with our environment or surroundings anymore” As we gradually shift from the use of printed maps to electronic satellite navigation systems, we have also lost touch with our environment and our surroundings. Reading printed maps seems like a skill of the past for some people but it is an accomplishment that brings enjoyment and adventure to exploring. This exhibit comprises film and printed Ordnance Survey map to convey, the enjoyment and accomplishment of finding your way, and perhaps losing your way whilst exploring with the help of the printed map.
