"SAmpleTXT" is a social project based within a South African context. It forms part of the research segment of my Masters of Visual Art Thesis entitled "POPTXT:The use of Human Signs & Symbols as a mode of Creative Expression and Social Identity within the Medium of Digital Text Messaging"
The study relies on acquiring participants from social networks like Face Book & Twitter. Participants of all backgrounds and ages are required to fill out a short Online Questionnaire about their texting behavior/preferences etc. All information is kept private and anonymous. A random text "sample" which can be an "SMS" or "IM chat" must be submitted for analysis.
This study will contribute to the body of research available on cell phone technology and it's effect on emerging societies. Very little hard evidence is available within a South African context, which makes this study very exciting and pertinent.
Be apart of this and follow the project till final exhibition, knowing you have contributed. All stages will be posted Online, so if you are from SA get involved.
