Pitch Deck Outline


Blog 9

Summaries of all research conducted (WITH LINKS AND CITATIONS) as they relate to your thesis inquiry.  This should include:
  • A detailed justification for all kinds of research conducted
  • Summaries of all insights gained as they relate to your design problem and research question
  • Examples of solves, techniques, approaches, treatments, etc that you feel are applicable to your thesis with explanations as to why that is the case
  • Summaries of SME and DME related activities


The US National Library of Medicine. National Institutes of Health discuss Cyberpsychology and the positive an negative effect on Mental Health. 

In order to understand my subject more, as well as find the correct vocabulary I first need to understand the effects of Social Media and tye in the problem with avatars and personas.


Internet Society has many articles about interenet identity. "Your online identity is not the same as your real-world identity because the characteristics you represent online differ from the characteristics you represent in the physical world."

This site and article gives vocabulary to the subject I am trying to discuss and light to the issue I am trying enlighten.

"This clashes with our personal experience of identity: are we not more than the sum of our parts or words on paper?"
"Facebook is a database disguised as a network. Over two billion users have joined, bringing along with them their social graph, all of the accumulated edges connecting them with their friends, families, institutions, ideologies, interests, etc. Unfortunately not too far from hyperbole, Facebook can use this information to create a simulacrum, or homunculus, of you within their system. The algorithms and the data sets you unwittingly feed them can literally be used to change your reality and emotional well-being. If the recent Cambridge Analytica scandal and the 2014 Emotional Contagion Experiment are any indication, our data has become valuable, even powerful, in ways we never anticipated. Similar to the state, trust is centralized with the service provider whom we have come to rely upon to stay connected to others in the 21st century."

Notes on trying to formulate a problem:

I will be going to the Immersive design summit this coming spring to help me find what I am going to do for a thesis or help with the idea that I come up with

Things I would like to do more research on is the exhibitions at Open Spaces in Kansas.

Problem:

I want to develop a problem and project that gives understand and discussion in forms of something that has to do with identity.

This could have to do with:

Personas(digital age)
Queer Identity
Body/Physical Identity (Body dysmorphia)
Etc

There can be so many questions:

How do you brand the perfect persona?
- How can creating an immersive or/and interactive environment/experience create an understanding of ______?
- How to initiate a space where people have to interact with their own digital/or physical persona?
- What is and why is the digital/physical persona?
- With the use of space creating a narrative that articulates the look and feel of a persona.

I digress

do I?

Am I trying to say that faux personas are people not living a full life? Not experiencing to the fullest? Not appreciating?

Is it a problem?
Would us using internets/social media/online identity be a form of policing (Panopticon by focault)?

Is the internet/social media anothe
