minutiae: Real Life is an anti-social media app developed by MINUTIAE LLC. It aims to capture ordinary moments of life that are often overlooked and undervalued. The app functions by sending participants a daily alert at a random minute, prompting them to open the app and document whatever is in front of them in that moment. Participants then have 60 seconds to explore previous moments, both their own and those of a random stranger they are matched with each day.

This long-term collaboration between artist and participant results in a digital archive of all the captured moments, with the option to turn the archive into a physical book. The app emphasizes the idea that life is made up of random moments and forgotten memories, and seeks to celebrate the ordinary. It is not a normal app focused on instant gratification or data collection. Instead, it encourages users to appreciate the uncurated, unfiltered, and unfollowed aspects of real life.
