Mass Perspective is an exhibition that comments on how overwhelming the current media and information system can be and aims to help the viewer understand the biases in the media they consume and how their biases draw them to certain mediums.

A table is installed in the corner of the room where the exhibit is with a map of the mass and cass area. The left wall has projections of news report videos, the right has magazines, newspapers, and images, all from different sources reporting on Mass and Cass. Two phones have feeds from Twitter and Facebook which present alternate opinions, as well as a podcast about the issue.

During OI, I practiced my skills in collaboration with my team which consisted of two students in person and one student across the states who was with us via Zoom. We learned how to communicate better with our partner on Zoom after the first week by enforcing a schedule and being very clear with descriptions of ideas and articulating our thoughts. The concept we started the project with was to make a book which presented different communication mediums through history. Now, after many different iterations for our concept, we have landed on following a specific news story - Mass and Cass - and presenting it through many outlets of information such as social media, newspaper, magazines, news sites and radio. by the least week, we had to fabricate the entire exhibit in order for it to convey our idea clearly, and will and I stayed late working on making the physical prototype and installing it.
