Have you thought much about, or engaged with "liminal space" content in the past 10 years? (Through a reddit group, tumblr, compilation videos etc.)Regardless if you care about such content now, if you ever spent some time enjoying or being disquieted by such images and media... that's "engaging" If you don't know what this is about you have not. If you know what it's about but just never paid it any mind? Same.

@futurebird whoops, misclicked. Should have been 40+ and have. I’m curious about what might have brought this question up though?

@futurebird 40+ and have seen maybe 1-2 things about it but wouldn’t consider myself as engaging with it. It was sort of tangential to my true crime interest, but mostly just felt weird that people found it weird.

@futurebird I quite like liminal space content but it goes hand and hand with a lot of internet horor

@mhoye Someone said that this is was something mostly "young people" care about?

@futurebird I cared enough to look up "liminal" when I first saw it crop over on Twitter a few years back, but not much more than that.

@ireneista @mhoye I'm excited to be OLD and don't want to be lumped in with young people anymore. I feel like as I age the bar keeps moving up. I thought I'd be OLD in my 30s but noooo. Well I'm in my 40s and making an executive old person decree: I'm on the OLD side now.

@futurebird huh. For my own part it put a name to an idea I’ve certainly seen a lot of - I’ve been in a lot of airports, of varying degrees of quality - and that name worked out as a gateway drug to the aesthetics wiki and some other design-classification systems that have proven to be excellent Wikipedia-type rabbit holes. I’m not sure what “matters” means in this context but I’ve certainly enjoyed its addition to the lexicon

@ireneista @mhoye Though my mom once heard me complain bitterly about how no matter how old I got I was still considered "young" and she explained "sometimes you're 60 and still "young people" ... grandma lived to 98 so.. OK well fine.

@futurebird @ireneista @mhoye I hit the magical retirement age this year — I’m not retiring — and I don’t see it as old as when my father was this age. What does make me feel oldish is t(at today is my uncle’s funeral. I now realize that in my family I am now in the oldest generation. Funny how my wife is the same age as me, her aunt and father are around the same age my uncle (well over 90), are going strong and not about to kick the bucket.

@Willow_Crow @futurebird >40 and I engaged with it IRL before it was Internet phenomenon, spending a lot of time in abandoned buildings either used as squats or for raves (or both) and spent a lot of time wandering through such spaces especially in the afternoons after the party was finished and there were few people around (although the squatters were sometimes followed around by an entire gang of local cats, a mix of pets and strays (one tomcat was later rehomed by a fish supplier))

@Willow_Crow @futurebird was literally walking around places just like those pictures but in 1999 until about 2006, sometimes accompanied by random cats looking in the building from fire escapes and flat roofs...

@futurebird Spent my 20s and 30s "guarding" such spots in security jobs. (I'd be in the 40+ camp.) Dead malls trying to fight their fate, mostly.

@futurebird then there are those of us who have not engaged in the discourse, though have found ourselves in that liminal space.

@CppGuy The online liminal space appreciation and art communities are mostly about sharing images with an uncanny feeling of being "in between" ... a mix of nostalgia and the unsettling.This reddit group where people vote on the "best" liminal images has typical examples:https://www.reddit.com/r/LiminalSpace/Personally I like the pool rooms. Neither is really "horror"https://www.designboom.com/art/diving-3d-artist-jared-pike-imaginary-liminal-interiors-pool-dreamscapes-02-18-2024/

@futurebird I find liminal spaces so interesting. When I don’t have a clear direction I tend to design toward liminal spaces.

@futurebird oh wait i think I answered wrong. I used to follow Abandoned on the bird site a while ago and also used to do this kind of thing IRL when I was much younger (hanging out in abandoned train yards etc). I am a long way north of 40!

@futurebird @CppGuy Interesting. I did not know this had a name (and I am 40+ and voted no) but now that I know what this is, I want to interact with more of it.

@futurebird Most of the pictures of liminal spaces I've seen show building interiors, but highway medians are a kind of rural liminal space that's fascinated me my whole life. The long strips of median in the middle of the interstate are often linear forests, at least in our part of the world. What creatures live there? What would it be like to explore these spaces?

@futurebird Does Backrooms count as engaging with Liminal Space? It seems adjacent at least.

@futurebird there's a difference between "not engaged because I didn't know about it" and "not engaged because it creeps me out"
