Swot-analyse

Swot-analyse

• How does your concept relate to body, identity and technology or a combination of these?We associate selfies mostly with faces, but that doesn’t have to be. How far can you stretch out your arm to capture a big part of your body? In this visual culture, the selfie quickly and easily shows, not tells, how you’re feeling, where you are, what you’re doing. A way of expressing ourselves and putting yourself in a light that you can control.

• What are you making? We want to capture ourself in every possible way with our smartphone. What will happen if we create a pattern of selfies and bring this in public space? By means of making the selfies wearable. We retain control in what we want to show in the pictures. We want to try out all conceivable selfies. We're gonna explore this way of representing ourselves to others, but of communicating with one another through images. would we ever get enough of or selfie? How will people react when you’re walking with you’re selfie all the time?, instead of staying on your phone or online, we take them into the physical world.

Wearable selfie: celebrities are getting away with wearing clothes with their own face on it, we probably don’t. we hebben gefilmd hoe ver onze arm kan reiken om een stuk van onszelf in beeld te brengen. Lizet heeft zo haar eigen selfie arm/handpose. Thelma heeft dat ook. het lijkt ons leuk om dit terug te laten komen in het kledingstuk. Daarnaast willen we van onze selfies een patroon creëren om onszelf mee te confronteren maar ook om de toeschouwer mee op te zadelen, en zo reacties uit te lokken. would we ever get enough of ourselfie. 

• What is the role of the public? (user, audience, reader, participant, viewer,  customer, other?                      A viewer and reader ( we want to get opinions/reactions). ''maar ook om de toeschouwer mee op te zadelen, en zo reacties uit te lokken. would we ever get enough of ourselfie. ''

• Which techniques, media and materials are you using and why? -

 - Photography; for the selfies.

- Fabric: for the wearable pieces

• What are you actually doing to realize/materialize your project? 

- Experimenting/tests : making = thinking

• Is there a realistic planning for each week in quarter 10?

Yes, we do have.(It's coming..)

• are you killing darlings?

All the time...

Swot-analyse: 

strengths: het maken/creeren, enthousiasme, onuitputtende doorzettingsvermogen

opportunities: wat heb je al wat je kunt inzetten. lot’s of selfies, workshops, patternmaking, sewing-skills, 

weaknesses: onzeker, niet te eigenwijs, we luisteren teveel

threats: te weinig selfies, dat we geen reacties durven uit te lokken.
