the midpoint

The Midpoint is an Interactive Political Media Center located in the Byward Market of Ottawa.

This project started with a conceptual piece of book art. A 1:1 scale marionette was created to look like a human being covered with political articles. The message behind it is that a person should not be a victim of propaganda and political manipulation through media. After all a “puppet” should not be the size of a human.

Being true to its name, its located midway between the US embassy and a homeless shelter embodying the contrast between an authoritative structure and a more fragile environment representing political relationships. The idea of this center is functioning as a mediator between media and the people.
