Based on previous projects, the direction I am interested in remains the relationship between technology and humanities in the Internet age. In my last project, I studied cyberbullying and tried to propose several interventions. David suggested that instead of thinking about jewellery all the time, I could jump ahead and consider which direction was an area of research that interested me. Based on David’s suggestion, I plan to begin by choosing a classification of cyberbullying for research and intervention. Combined with the fact that I had chosen NFT and metaverse as my research subjects in Project 3, I started to think about whether cyberbullying is getting worse because of the advancement of technology.
I did more multiverse and NFT related research. The “metaverse” builds on Web 2.0’s flat and largely asynchronous interfaces and combines our favorite features from the history of social media platforms, gaming worlds, AR/VR, and online transactions. Some of us have participated in some metaverse candidates already – whether it’s by spending time in the games or worlds of Meep City or Nikeland on Roblox, attending Travis Scott’s or Arianda Grande’s concerts in Fortnite, watching a movie together with friends in BigScreen, walking through the virtual halls of an NFT museum, or playing a military-simulation first-person shooter game or running a parkour course with your best buddies.
However, cyberbullying has the potential to become more insidious and impactful since the realism that accompanies VR experiences readily translates to fear experienced emotionally, psychologically, and physiologically when individuals are targeted or threatened. The rapid development of technology has brought good things such as more opportunities for education, entrepreneurship, self-realisation, discovery and wonder for children and adults around the world.But we cannot ignore the risks that come with it and cyberbullying is just one of them. I will delve into this field in my further research to find the precise question that interest me, and afterwards I will think about how to combine it with jewellery.
