As I stated in my previous post, we want the performance to relate to not just ourselves but the public as well. From discussions stemming out of the four of us members of JumpCut, we felt that if we are all feeling and doing similar makeup and dressing routines then the public will also feel and do similar routines. However, we want to know what society really thinks about online identities and our constantly growing obsession with perfection. We have created an online survey asking the online society about their approach and thoughts on our topic. All results are anonymous to try and get a true of an answer as possible. Since the launch of the survey two days ago on 23rd April 2015, we have received numerous responses and we have found shocking and unexpected answers to certain questions so far. We want to use these responses for our understanding of a wider public sphere instead of just utilizing our own knowledge. Although we shall not be using answers from the survey directly in our performance, we have started to gather the information to assist the direction of the piece in a way that portrays the feedback.
If you would like to let us know your thoughts on perfection, please fill in our survey below:
