Background Racism has been a huge issue around the world including Malaysia.

With the creation of new media like social networks ( YouTube, Facebook ), new cases of race hate has been spreading like wildfire and exposed widely to the public.

Problem Identification Each day through the usage of new media, more and more racial hate

display are made, spawning new cases of racism at a high rate which led a number of Malaysian to believe that digital media is a form / medium that will only cause more damage to our multi-race community especially the Internet.

Aim & Objective - To create unity among races through new media and remind - To accumulate comments/feedback from users on racism in Malaysia - To evaluate users response when they are given the opportunity to

make statements anonymously

Motivation I've always being one to stand against racism. I know for a fact

it's not possible to get rid of its existence completely. It's been around for ages. It's stupid ( not to mention stereotyping is damn annoying ) and I think we all need to play our part in solving this huge issue. I'm very glad that I have the chance to support this cause.

Ideation and Concept one[voice] will provide Malaysians with a medium that allows

users to ‘speak’. The installation collects their opinions (voices) on how they see Malaysia as a multiracial country using the iPad. Voices will then be displayed in a live-stream monitor where audience can ‘listen’ to Malaysians. When submission is received, a webcam will capture a picture of the user. Faces of users will be projected into a pile of cubes that form the shape of the Malaysia which profiles users not by their race, but ‘united’ as Malaysians.

Contextual StudiesContextual StudiesSocial Understanding and respect are important characteristics that one must

have in order to live in a multiracial country. Most Malaysians have lost the 'Muhibbah' spirit that was once there when they were kids. Growing up, 'educated' by the media, living under the regulations of the system, the 'unity' inside of us is slowly fading. It's all about 'me' or in the politics it's all about 'my race' first. Malaysians need to be reminded.

Personal The decision to unite or hate is up to that individual. Sure we all can

keep pointing fingers and most people tend to do so. Because it's easier. Rather than having to live with each other's differences, it is human nature to find comfort in things and be in groups of people with similarities.

Cultural In a way, other than the diversity in skin color Malaysians are very

different due to their ethics and heritage. If you observe at the way Malaysians dress maybe not so much because everyone dress-up to the 'modern-age' dress code nowadays but what about customs? Each race has their own laws ( even in simple stuffs like eating ) or superstitious beliefs that when not learned and accepted cause disagreements that separate individuals into separate cliques.
