Our project is titled Matched? Virtual and Material Reality. We aim to look at the importance of online identity in the modern day by focusing on the topic of internet dating. In the news there are often stories pertaining to the dangers of online dating due to things such as fake identities. We will also look at the fall-out from bad/negative online dates conducted through interviews of people telling us their experiences and how/why when meeting up in person the date fell through, or why people felt the need to conceal certain aspects of themselves. We will create a documentary style film, showing the realities of online dating and the human side of the topic. Finally, we will include a collage of stories and experiences highlighting the dangers of online dating. This is relevant to this day as statistics suggest that the use of online dating sites by young adults has tripled since 2013. Our overall aim for this project is to bring to light the real disasters of online dating, from incompatible matches to the actual dangers of internet dating. Using this as an interactive piece, we will then build around this work with pieces highlighting the philosophical implications of dating systems and what this means in the context of 'post humanity', tying the project together in challenging what this new form of social interaction has come to symbolise for us on a social, post human level.
Sounds really good, the new additions really help.
