Step Two: Stop and Think

So, I updated some information on my new account-- interests, activities and the like. I'm trying to create a person akin to the kind we see on reality TV, although I'm not entirely sure what all my interests would be-- "making a fool of myself for the viewing pleasure of millions of people"? So I'm just kind of winging it-- thinking of all the things I actually don't like and going from there.

I'm just not entirely sure where this idea is going, so I think I need to take some time and think about what exactly it is that I want to accomplish with this. Is this even art? If it is, what kind of message am I trying to convey with it? I mean, what do I want the end result of this project to be, and how can I get the people involved in it to realize it? How will I know when I'm finished? And how, in the end, does this relate back to the theme of our larger class project? I mean, I guess the idea of the lines between the reality of the internet and television and actual reality being blurred is somewhat there, but how do I make that more clear? At this point I have a lot of questions and not many answers, so I guess I'll present this to the class tomorrow and ask their opinion. Stay tuned.
