Giving people moments of happiness defined my relational aesthetics works this Fall. I first used personalized feel-good stickers and distributed them to random strangers. The interactions of the recipients with the givers defined the goals of this small project. For the larger project, the goal was to use the easily accessible YouTube to create more personal, individual relationships. Each person was to send a video to someone along with a paragraph explaining why they chose that particular video or why that video reminded them of that person. Both of these projects developed relationships on different levels.
