50 Signs

Collection:
Difference with day and night:
Grow in the dark paint, projectors, spotlights

Making the art interactive:
Screaming, confessions, meditation, relax, music, buttons

Ode to ...:
Nurses/police/fireman etc., 13-17 year old people where our project will be an alternative for going out, people in their 20's that really want to go out again.

What kind of feeling does the collection have?:
Calm, artistic, fun, cool, retro,

I personally like this part of the collection a lot because it's most visible at night and I think we easly can make a fun event or route with these. For me I feel like these are more artistic and modern. A lot of the other works really feel like they are old and requested by the municipality were they feel less authentiek.

With his sub collection I also think more people are willing to come and would fit our creatures of the night which we can make creatures of the light or something like that.

Maybe we can also add lights to other exciting works.

Stereo types

What did I look for my 50 signs?

What kind of colors are most visible?
What do they wear?
What tools do they have?
What kind of situations are they in?
How do they feel in those moments?
How does their surrounding look like?

What is seen most in these stereotypes about first responders?

Nurse
They get sexualized:
There is for every of these professions you can find a sexy costume version on the internet. Also in porn they get sexulized and dehumanized.

They get genderized:
Men who work as for example as a nurse don't get taken serious and made fun of even though a male nurse can do the same things like female nurse and are even required. That's the same the other way around.

Because they are seen as a job that only woman do forms also the idea that nurses have a lower function or are less imported or needed then a docter. Which is false.

Fire fighter
They have the stereo type that they only get called for big fires. But that's not true. They help with accidents and other incidents where there are risks to life and property. Full-time firefighters help protect the public in emergency situations. They respond to a wide variety of calls: as well as fires, they assist at car crashes, chemical spills, flooding and water rescue.

Police
I think with the police there has been a big change with the stereo type. First it was like good people that protect us and chase criminals and put them in jail and in movies they would be portrait as lazy people who eat donuts and drink coffee.

But in the last past years, the first thing you think of is brutality and violence

We knolled the pictures also in feelings, places, desire and jobs.
Then we made some keywords that we can use in further research

Feedback

what am I going to research more?

- Do I want to focus on the user itself or help the user to inform the surrounding? (More into the stereotype)

- Look at the collection again

- Conclusion: What do I want to do?
