Viral Intervention: Final Artifact

All in all, this was a very fun project to work on and to learn from as I had little to no knowledge about the subject we touched for this Viral Intervention Project.

Although some were intrigued, a lot were skeptical about the idea entirely. A lot of others tagged a long and some had no idea what sigmas were! In the end, we were able to pass out all 50 of the flyers printed out.

On 11/29 our group got together and started creating the Sigma Success Club board that would be used as an the artifact for this assignment. This board will later on be a useful tool to help recruit and guide those willing to join our discord and attend our first club meeting on 12/6. I helped decorate the board by gluing the big bills to the back and embellishing the board's borders as well. I also cut and glue images of sigma characters that would be used as examples to display the qualities of a sigma. Other additions were also made to make the board as welcoming and informative as well.

After we successfully hand out our flyers on that day, on 12/6 we will then be presenting and having out first Sigma Success Club meeting where we will discuss what it means to be a true Sigma in todays rough world.

Hierarchy assignment: #hierarchyflag #flagrace #2Dflagrace

To be able to self express oneself without worry of external pressures, be it societal or cultural, is to be truly liberated as a woman. Allowing women to break free from societal constraints or expectations, allowing them to be their true self. When living in a society that imposes standards on appearance or behavior. Women need to challenge societal norms, push boundaries in order to achieve authenticity. Be it through pursuing male-dominated career paths, challenging beauty standards, or simple avocation. This path would not only push out dated societal standards but allow women to freely express themselves and celebrate their unique identity.

In this piece I used a thrifted floral patterned comforter, a full body mirror, and a stool. I put the comforter over the mirror and began to tear and rip a hole in the center of where the comforter lies over the mirror. This piece was supposed to be metaphoric on how women are expected to cover up themselves because of how society expects them to be. I specifically chose a floral pattern because of how it can represent femininity. This also is representative of the pattern women would wear back then and how modest they had to be with the clothes they would wear. The tear marks are metaphoric on how most women don’t want to always cover up and how a little bit of themselves is seen through their clothes.

I created my video by first setting up two cameras at different angles of my room. I wanted one angle to capture my computer where I would begin the process of heading to bed and another angle showing my bed and how I prepared it. The idea was to show what the process is, after a long day, heading to bed looks like for me. I included my normal routine of getting off the game, blowing out my candles, putting on my bonnet, and clearing off my bed. I included soft music that I felt set the mood for sleepiness and bedtime.
