For my final major project I would like to highlight the issues of mind control and how everybody is a victim of mind control without even being aware of it. We live our lives completely controled by advertising, telling us about things we 'must have', convincing us we need these things to survive. I would like to attempt to show things as they are and show the reality of everyday life and how controlled we actually are, and how each of our ideologies are not actually ours at all but opinions based on other peoples opinions, variations of other peoples thoughts.
In order to do this I'm going to need to do some research into mind control, the history and how it has been used in various situations. Situations such as prisoners, politics, wars, religion and media. Most people have heard of the illuminati and how it's using the media to influence society to act in a certain way and believe various things for the benefit of this 'secret society', yet people dismiss this as just a myth.
People are controlled in everything they do everyday without even realising, ever since birth. Their education has been decided by other people, what they learn, how they they're taught. We're 'brainwashed'. Every aspect of our lives has been manipulated by something else. Our beliefs are based on other peoples beliefs and adopted as our own. We don't understand how we really feel about anything because we're told how we should feel.
I plan to use a variety of different media such as drawings, printing, photography and film in order to create a body of work leading upto my final piece. I may even do a few surveys to see how people see their lives. I havn't thought much about my final piece as I want all my back up work to lead me to decide what my final piece will be. To document this project I shall mainly be using this blog to showcase my research annotations of bits of work. I 'll also be using my journal.
People like to think they're free from the confinemens of life, but in todays society, everybody is confined. What they own ends up owning them. Nobody's free until they realise how imprisoned they are.
