An interactive election poster
Aim of this project was getting interacted with the people an their interests. So I started by asking people in my neigbourhood what they are looking for in a better future. I didn't ask too many people but those I asked where not really happy with what was going on in politics. One guy complained about all the green spaces being destroyed though people living here where longing for those while another person was wishing for true participation of the people in the political decisions that are being made.
When the election campaigning started I saw all those crappy posters that barely ever had content or if they did have content they did not really represent the topics people are worried right about. Or if they did they put on some populist polemic sentence on it and hoped to catch people with that.
So I got the idea of creating an interactive election poster, since its the interests of the voters that should be counting and heard. LIke those touristic things you can stick your head through the hole and on the foil you can write your own personal election promise, or what you wish for in an upcoming government or you can just make fun of it.
On the one hand this thing is supposed to critice the election campaigns as they are working these days, if not politics in general, but also it is meant to treat the whole topic a little bit satirically. To not loose the critical aspect there was meant to be a whiteboard standing right next to the posters with questions that ask the viewers for their opinions. (last page in the pdf)
