Inspired by the intentional disclosive nature of one’s environment and self, I further explored how our environment aids in unveiling our personal vulnerabilities through facilitating self-disclosure. This is a two part thesis, in which part one was displayed in the lobby of the first gallery, the “input” zone. Here participants would draw a card, give a written answer to the question on the back of the card using the stand provided. In order to stimulate vulnerability, I asked participants a variety of questions – some are very surface level, some have deeper meaning. They would then take the card to the next gallery. This was the “output zone.” In order to stimulate vulnerability, I asked participants a variety of questions – some are very surface level, some have deeper meaning.
What participants didn’t know is that as they are writing using the stand in the “input” zone, what they are writing is being live streamed and projected to both a website and the “output” zone in the gallery. To help maintain anonymity the live stream is on a 36 second lag from the recording of the camera in the input zone to the projection in the output zone. This relates to the idea that we are more likely to disclose when it feels anonymous but don’t fully know what happens to our disclosure and how others will relate or react to it.
