Miranda July Creates an App That Doubles as a Social Experiment

Miranda July made an app. This is of note because July---a writer, director and actress---is not exactly an app person. For proof, ask July how she feels about technology, and she’ll explain: “I keep picturing some woman dropping her pears on the street and I help her pick them up and then we go our separate ways,” she says. “And for some reason I have this high feeling like I’m part of humanity, and that’s as good as it gets. My phone isn’t really about that.”
