One look can determine an impression. What determines how we think? What determines our view on someones image? How can you judge someone based on looks?
Our final project idea looks at the politics of image. How people present themselves or come across through first impressions are crucial in defining who they are to society.
Our test will be taking average, everyday people who define themselves under a certain identity. We will have people in everyday society judge them based on a single photo. We will be using side-by-side photos of different people and ask the public a number of questions related to these photos. We will be able to get a look into how people think and judge others.
We liked the idea (below) of a tally mark or a tick under each photo as this is quite powerful. We got this inspiration from Marilyn Monroe photoshoot tactics. We will be creating a sheet of all of the side-by-side photos with the questions above them and have people cross out one person or the other.
We are still gathering ideas on where we would be able to do this. (suggestions from class?)
Will they be able to tell people apart based on their beliefs/values?
Who voted Brexit?
After gathering results we will upload them with the final project.
Sample questions:
“Who would you trust?”
“What is your initial emotion when seeing this person?”
“Who is a conservative?”
“Who is an international student?”
“Who is… (Occupation)?”
“Who is a parent?”
