Description
Photos of protestors from the 60s in comparison to today's photos of protestors, are nearly indistinguishable. The issues activists are fighting for, have been cyclical, for generations. And, various forms of activism have taken on a similar roles to fashion, a major indicator in one's identity as well as being a main source for artistic expression. In Guerilla Vogue Society, I intentionally use analog material (“polaroids”) in conjunction with emerging technologies (Augmented Reality and Projection Mapping) to explore the cyclical behavior of injustice and protest in avant-garde times. I then explore high aesthetics in representation of data to explore the fashion of activism, data art, and the future of protesting.
