[Project] 100 People Project

For this particular project, I was inspired by the recent phenomenon of people posting photos on facebook and requesting for "likes," in order to gain some personal reward.

I find it interesting as to how many likes this photo could collect from strangers all over the world, reaching 1 million hits. It is amazing that through social media, strangers among the world could participate in the same event and helping strangers to achieve a personal goal. Therefore, for this 100 people project I decided to use social media (Facebook) in similar manner by posting a photo on my facebook wall. Instead of  asking for likes, I asked a question, "what is art?" to my facebook friends and requested them to leave comments on my photo.

I have acquired 114 comments from my friends within just 2 days, which is really unexpected. The answers show a wide range of variety and some answers really surprise me. I have  put together the answers using tagcloud to show which theme is the most predominant. It is not a surprise that "expression" proves to be the most common answer, followed by "emotion."
