11. Viral Intervention: Process

For the final documentation we did end up going to Miami beach to film. when we got there we headed straight to the beach, picked a spot to put down our things and started walking along the shore. A friend joined to film us because we all wanted to be in the video all together. This worked out perfectly because I feel the more people you see in frame with the shirts on the more impact the meaning translates. Not even 2 minutes of holding hands and manoeuvring around people two ladies asked us what we were doing. and wanted to take a picture with us. I was surprised because i honestly didn't think anyone was going to come up to us at the beach of all places. because the beach is somewhere you go to relax and have fun, not for an intervention.

For our final proposal we decided to stick with the plain white tee idea. For this we are planning to buy shirts and iron on letters, writing a part of our sentence on the front and back. Some of us are going to have a phrase in English on the front and Spanish in the back and vice versa. We are planning to go Miami Beach and walk along the shore and around people, trying to get into their way to make them look at us.

QUOTE “I work with pictures and words because they have the ability to determine who we are and who we aren’t.”

COMMENT This quote stood out to me because it captures how powerful content is in shaping perception online. Kruger’s art directly confronts how the media for example shapes the way we see ourselves and others. I relate to this as someone who scrolls through social media daily. it’s easy to believe and apply things we see that tell us who we should be. Kruger reminds us to question that influence is strong and to recognize how constructed these narratives are.
