STAKEHOLDERS

Hey, it's Michelle!

I'm here to talk about my interviews with the people who would be effected by a new public art installation.


1. Parents (members of the community).
Q1: What is the 21st century human to you?
Mom: I would describe the 21st century human as someone who is always reaching for the future, and not focused on the past. Also, I see a suit and tie, someone very formal and business-oriented.
Dad: (nods in agreement, he doesn't say much)

Q2: What would be an issue you would have with a new art installment? Do you have any ideas on how to fix or prevent this issue?
Mom: I wouldn't want anything dealing with controversial topics, like race, religion or politics. Just make the statue neutral. I wouldn't want any part of the community to feel offended by a piece of art.
Dad: Yeah, and to prevent this, just design something neutral. (thanks, dad)

2. Classmates and friends.
A lot of people said that the 21st century was all about technology and business. The 21st century is filled with advancements in science, technology and more. Some of my classmates talked a lot about multi-tasking and how it's become a huge part of our society today.

3. Faculty.
She described the 21st century human as a technology-driven discoverer. When I asked if she could explain, she said that people now are constantly trying to be better than the ones before, so they are discovering more about everything (including technology) as they move toward the future. She also says that the 21st century human is mostly focused on what lays ahead, definitely not the present, and only takes small glances at the past.

I agree with what all of the stakeholders I interviewed had to say. Technology, the future and business seem to be stand-out characteristics of the 21st century, which I believe we should definitely strive to portray in our art installment.

Keep twisting!
