Areas of Outstanding Natural Banality

Areas of Outstanding Natural Banality encourages people to seek out and document beauty in the everyday, to take pictures and share them worldwide.
 
In your everyday life, do you find yourself drawn to dusty corners, stopping in the street to look up at the clouds, tilting your head to take in the gorgeousness of your culinary creation? Then you are pinpointing Areas of Outstanding Natural Banality...and you are not alone! Many people are pausing as they go about their daily routine, peeling back the layers of something seemingly dull and finding beauty in those things that others may dismiss as boring.
 
Don't keep these images to yourself, share them with others! Adele Prince is a London-based artist who explores how people interact with each other and the spaces around them, using instructional graphics to communicate observations about human nature. For folly's 2006 f.city festival she developed a series of online instructions and animations, encouraging people to take pictures of their Areas of Outstanding Natural Banality and share them in a special Flickr group.

Flickr is an online photo management and sharing application with two main goals: to help people make their content available to the people who matter to them, and to enable new ways of organizing photos and video. As of June 2009 it claims to host more than 3.6 billion images.
