Interactive Installation

Social tags may not be a novel concept, but with the explosive growth of social networking and the internet's wealth of information, coupled with recent societal focus on certain popular tags, I find it imperative to delve into and re-explore this topic.


People generally dislike being confined by labels, and there's an abundance of artworks and social movements that resist such labeling. Yet, intriguingly, due to various physical and psychological reasons, as well as the influence of our current linguistic environment, people have been inevitably labeling themselves and others.


Through design, I aspire to help people recognize and understand this inescapable contradiction and strive for a reconciliation with labels.





RESEARCH AND WORKSHOPS

 WORKSHOP1：I first asked 10 participants to write down their perceptions of themselves. Next, request the 10 participants to note their assessments and portrayals of the others. In the end, I had everyone read the comments about them and jot down their reactions.

WORKSHOP2：Split ten folks into five pairs. Have each group of participants ask each other the questions on the slips of paper and answer them.Jot down fresh insights about the other party based on prior Q&As.



INTERACTIVE METHODS

One participant asks a question, and the other responds. Based on the answer, the questioner writes down their impression of the other person. The written card is then exchanged and placed on the sensor. As more cards accumulate, the system gradually allows the participants to see each other.
