MASKED SOCIETY
In our current reality, we represent an ideal version of ourselves on social media, by solely posting ‘likeable’ moments. However, in real-life, we can’t live up to this unrealistic ideal self. In the near future, this might leave a growing number of people feeling frustrated. This movement will lead us to a speculative future: the Masked Society. This project consists of the ritual stand and three masks. The masks have been designed to enhance a feeling of confidence, calmness, or gratitude. After picking a mask for the day, this can be
scanned on top of the stand to start a meditation session that helps with feeling like your ideal self.
The aim of presenting this speculative future is to help and trigger people to think about their preferable future and question the status quo. Would this be a desirable future for you?
