The AR effect has now been created and is ready to be applied on small scale. My next step will be to use SparkAR to load the AR effect into Instagram. I plan to start the online campaign at the upcoming Creative Festival. The aim of launching at the festival is to get more attention for my project to reach as wide an audience as possible. In the meantime, I plan to sell the jewellery made by the participants in the third intervention (with the consent of the participants) for charity at the Creative Festival.
This project will continue to be taken forward as part of my future career. In the coming year I will continue to design this collection of jewellery and explore the craft to choose the appropriate way to produce it. I will also continue to contact charities to identify opportunities for collaboration, such as charity sales, art psychology counselling and so on.
I will continue to explore and update my research as I delve deeper in the future. Changing the entire social media environment is difficult, but stakeholders and I believe that this change is bound to happen at some point in the future. Continuing to expand the impact of the project and making more women aware of the influence of the male gaze on self-objectification are all laying the groundwork for future change. I’m looking forward to that moment!
