Very different festivals around the world, which are about mask wearing people design their own masks, people wear mask and go out into society and there rituals around mask wearing one of the famous ones in Europe is a festival in Venice, which is about mask query. Looking into the ritual and the culture of designing masks, and making masks and using them as a way to hide your identity be someone else as a form of therapy as a form of, communication as a form of art as a form of developing your own identity or a new identity based on this mask that you design.
when as I am doing this, as I am developing the digital story. Just try to take one step back and think of, what the intention of this office intervention is, what I am trying to achieve, but try to be very clear about it, and then as I am engaging my users in the development of these digital stories. Make sure that they’re helping me answer some of these questions that would allow me then to build a next intervention and continue to develop my project forward.
get in touch with my stakeholder, to ask them, if it’s possible for them to invite their families or parents or whoever, to help me carry out my intervention
if the parents do not engage with me, think about what could I do as an alternative that would allow me to continue developing my project, I need to think and have a backup plan, and what next my intervention can be
This is my small intervention 1, I used mask as a technique, drawing their mood on the mask and wear their mask to communicate with other people, but can’t speak, only rely on body language, this lasted for 4 days. Finally, observe whether they rely on the mask to have better communication.
FEEDBACK
after the intervention, I got some feedback and their feelings from participants:
at the beginning, they were unfamiliar, and a little embarrassed;
if don’t draw something on the mask, it’s difficult to express(without the help of the drawing, they don’t know how to express)
they can basically understand each other’s meaning, but there is also a slight deviation in the details
can’t feel the other person’s mood
without training, it is difficult to express with body language
REFLECTION
In the beginning, for my small intervention 1 and 2. Before the experiment, I think that communication and attractiveness are important, but I started to forget this in the following steps. I used mask as a technique, though it resolves a little embarrassment, it also increase the difficulty of communication. There are few information acquisition channels for online communication, a lot of interactive information is hidden, and it is difficult to feel the other’s person mood. And I found that if you want to increase the sense of communication and interaction, the content and process of communication will become more complicated. So how to make my project creative and interactive and not just like an only solution for temporary something I need to think more about in the future.
