Description of Intervention Project

     The idea behind my Intervention Project, is to use an inanimate object as a representation of people in an increasingly "plastic" world. What I mean by plastic, is that we're all locked up in our own digital worlds, presenting our contrived personas online. We use inanimate objects (phones and computers) to interface with an inanimate world, to connect with inanimate/fake representations of people.
     Additionally, this digital world is bleeding into reality in the form of plastic surgery, low self esteem, anxiety, and the inability to express our true opinions in reality. I think that we're getting so involved with our contrived digital worlds that our personalities and experiences are more and more being shaped by them. To be clear, I'm not saying that a "plastic" world is necessarily a bad thing, I'm simply acknowledging its presence.
     In order to achieve this, I've decided to make a sort of ironic intervention in normal life. I'm going to take one of those big orange traffic cones, and put it in odd places (relaxing on a park bench, riding a skateboard, etc.) to represent people.
