CAT Creative Ability Test

Project description:

In the field of entertainment the production is often outsourced to cheap labour, whereas the creative part is honored. While reflecting on mechanism of the creative industry two sides emerged with a strong ambiguity. This is why we want to question the definition of the creative part on the one hand and the role of the worker on the other hand.
An interactive video installation provides a survey where the spectator can run through 10 questions within 4 proposed answers. As foundation serves different examples of job interviews for companies in the creative industry. The aim is to end up with a result that expresses in percentage to what extend the respondent fits into the profile of either the creative or the worker. An individual batch will be given away to provoke an eventual discussion in the exhibition space about the meanings of the two categories.

How to present it:

The form will stay visually simple and emphasize on the content of the questions and the created output.
References for the visuals will be Thomas Demand, computer-generated images depicting working spaces.
The layout of the questions will follow "Who wants to be a millionaire" quiz show.


The final outcome will be visualization of the data collection, divided into two parts:

  • individual result

each participants will receive an pie chart of his individual results printed out in a form of badge.

  • group result

A statistics chart with all the collected data will be print out and presents as the outcome of the whole exhibition.
