Mass Media Technology Communication Fashion Technology Social Media Textile Self presentation Communication Human interaction This paper explores the consequences of social media and their influence on human interaction. The project, called The Filter , is the result of research into this subject area interpreted conceptually in an accompanying eight look collection. These garments are wearable, but created for a high end designer market, with some garments meant to be considered and appreciated as artistic pieces. Academic research on the topic included various studies, as well as texts by anthropologists and leaders in the technological community. Each look and the techniques involved in their creation represent the ways that social media affect self-presentation, communication, and manifestation of identity in an online sphere. The silhouettes developed for these ideals can add a sense of strength to the wearer, to fit an aspirational identity that she wants to present to the surrounding world. Other fabrications include print design inspired by literal human connections, reminding us of the people that give influence to those social media sites. While all garments in the collection are designed to be wearable, they are not meant to be fully practical; rather, the purpose of each look is to give a concrete representation of the aspects of social media explored. Some garments are larger than life, much like the identities people perpetuate online, with the collection serving as a physical manifestation of the ideals of virtual self-presentation. A fatalistic view of the grip of social media on human interaction is evident, but overall, serves to help the viewer question the role of social media in society and reconsider how communication has been shaped as a consequence. 2018-05-11 English text Kent State University Honors College / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ksuhonors1525694435239416 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ksuhonors1525694435239416 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
