In teams of 2 – 4 create a design to show on Zoom that utilizes tactics of illusion to artistically engage with a concept that is rooted in the cultural or sociological or philosophical dilemmas of representation.No specific technological tools are prescribed or required; however it must be able to be shown in class on Zoom. Suggestions of topics can be: Underrepresented stories, designs that expose the worship of the written word, histories or cultures at risk of deletion, the power structures behind our systems of representation …
It’s from feminism theory，but I hope to explore its broader meaning.
Imagine a situation: when you are gazed by someone who is more powerful than you.
I want to use projection to simulate the gaze of others and use the projected content to visualize the hidden content of the gaze.
2. Child sexual assault/Stockholm syndrome
I am not concerned with sexual assault itself. I think there are more social workers/related professionals that are more qualified to talk about this matter than me.
What I am concerned about is that some victims of sexual assault will have hallucinations and beautify the abuser as someone she loves to rationalize what they have experienced.And this most happens when their worldview is not fully formed.
I want to use body projection or mixed reality projection in a physical space to express violence is violence，not love.
I don’t want to discuss this idea in a very serious/heavy way.
I am not sure whether I can find some artistic and relaxing ways to express that.
3.Algorithm traps us in information that we agree with.
Algorithms always recommend things for us based on our preferences, and gradually we no longer hear the opposite views.
There are a lot of academic theories（Echo chamber，filter bubble…） about this, but I think interactive visual things can give people more intuitive feelings.
I did some research.There are still many controversies in academia on this matter.
But personally，I do think that my background limits my understanding of many things.
For the technical part-
I want to combine virtual world and physical real world.
I hope I can try some mixed reality things to project in a confined space.
Or body projection.
Or pepper’s ghost.
