Lead Question
How to make people being curious and a voyeur?
My background is advertising. When I worked in advertising industry, I always thought about the effective ways of getting attention from the public. Because the main purpose of advertising is to make
people pay attention to a product or service and ultimately consume.
In my view, curiosity and voyeurism is very effective for an advertising and marketing industry, also fine art, contemporary art and film. Therefore, there are many things about voyeurism in all types of the arts and design.
My research key words are voyeurism and curious. In my opinion, every person has this kind of desire and instinct.

According to a research in Korea, when Korean people commute to work and
back home, they are exposed to CCTV 70 times a day. Even though it’s for
security reasons, some people are obviously looking at what you are doing, and
still now as you can see there are lots of CCTVs even Ravensbourne as well.
And cinema
Some people, who work in film industry, say that cinema is a perfect place for being a voyeur. Because you can watch what people are doing in films with very dark condition in the cinema. Of course it is not illegal but it’s a kind of voyeurism as well.
Mass media

We can watch and read what people are doing now a days. Especially about
celebrities, politicians and royal families. That’s why so many paparazzi are
working now. Also some famous TV programmes are using voyeurism. For example,
Big Brother, Hidden Camera shows and tabloids.
SNS (Social Network Service)
Today, so many people are using Social Network Service such as Facebook, Twitter, Linked in etc. SNS users enjoy looking what other people have done and thought on the SNS web sites. Some people even use SNS sites to look at their ex boyfriends and ex girlfriends.
Those things can be the same as a voyeur.
Moreover, Psychoanalysts say that watching porn films and reading porn
magazines are also a kind of voyeurism. So we are all voyeurs.

The thing what I concern about is 'voyeurism'. Because my professional field is advertising so I would like to use it for advertising or communication design.
In my view, voyeurism is a kind of human's instinct or desire so that I might make people pay attention into my work through using voyeurism.
