The specific aims of this project
a.
To produce a set
of thirty-two posters of racially-typed heads that appear to have been the
objects of abuse.
b.
To manufacture a World
Wide Web site to encourage self-identified racists to deposit digital samples
of their skin make-up and other visual artifacts.
c.
To create an interactive
installation which features the making of digital skin samples of its audience
as a key element in the installation's design.
d.
To construct the installation
so that its audience's movements and ethnic composition determine a level
of abuse which is 'inflicted' visually on projected images in the installation
and which also provokes the images to respond in turn to the audience.
e.
To work with
community groups to create content for the interactive components of the
installation and poster images.
f.
To organise a single,
month-long series of sessions recording culturally hybrid music anthems
to be incorporated as audio elements into the installation's design.
g.
To enable development
of the project further in other formats, building on the experience of the
project's first two stages and incorporating the sample data that is scanned
and stored in the course of these initial stages.
