Camouflage is a series of work collaborated with Chenshan Gao as an exploration of
identity as well as a response to the consumerism bubbles which we enjoyed nowadays.
The idea began with a previous interactive work my partner did earlier,
"Smile, Please". It's a system that detects smiles and uses a thermal printer to tell users if
their smile is “good” enough or not while also using electrodes to shock the person if their smile was
not “good” enough. Then, users will be given The Manual of Smile Etiquette after each experience.
Smile, Please
There will always be all kinds of invisible standards for our behaviors or appearances
given by others or the environment and society. Appearances are becoming the most direct part of the curated
identities, ‘thanks to’ the consumerism, retailors are giving their products certain functionalities: ‘a
lipstick shade no males could resist’, ‘the invisible foundation designed for dating’, ‘the eyeshadow
makes you feel unreachable’... we ended up desiring to become a better self through buying more cosmetic
products, even they’re similar and knowing we got too much to use.
We’re simply tired of hearing those propagandas selling make-up products as a way to make up ones lives. There’s nothing wrong with putting on make-ups, but the obsessesions with cosmetics are just another reflection of the insecure of the true self.
