MASS Perspective is an interactive exhibit designed by high school students that explores the perception of news through different media outlets. MASS's perspective uses reporting on the Mass & Cass issue as a case study to show the different ways news can be consumed and understood.

The exhibit featured newspapers, articles, newscasts, social media posts, and radio/podcasts each giving a different perspective on the Issue. At the conclusion of the exhibit, you are instructed to scan a QR code. This leads you to a Google form about the media you gravitate towards and how much you learned about Mass & Cass. From this information, we are able to see how people go about learning news and current events and how the media they choose affects their knowledge of the topic.

During Open Innovation I was able to learn a lot about working with a group with complex dynamics. My group had two people on site with one on Zoom. This created many communication barriers that we had to work through. As the studio went on we were able to create a schedule and plan for communication and this helped make sure all group members were working parallel to each other. Then as we started the fabrication process it presented new challenges. We had to learn as a group how to take advantage of everyone's skills on Zoom and in person.

Additionally I also learned about exhibit creation throughout this studio. Most things I make at NuVu I am able to provide insight about the project while presenting, but for the exhibit it had to be created in a way that allowed for the viewer to understand without a explanation. This new challenge made me focus on the connection between the viewer and the exhibit instead of the viewer and me.
