Artist Statement
The bystander effect, a social psychological phenomenon which has made how people in the public view others when in distress, as an unknown figure that is not important. Shocking but the evolution of time has somehow changed the way we observe each other and how we use our mind. It's as if the person in need of help is invisible to the bystanders around.
The Unknown, an interactive video installation that will show the public about the unmorally and no remorse phenomenon that may affect us all. A video will be played upon the user entering the area of the monitor. The user will be presented with multiple videos on different monitors, demonstrating the phenomenon of the bystander effect while wearing a head phone to immerse them self in the situation before them.
