First, I conducted further in-depth research on the words randomly selected before, and improved and developed the previous mind map.
In addition, behavior usually has its own performers and possible audiences, however, there may not be audiences. So I used ‘performance art’as a keyword to search in Google Search.

While browsing the search results, I found a lot of interesting performance art videos that I didn’t realize before. One of them was a short interview with MOMA by Marina Abramović.
She said all performing arts must be real. It’s different from the drama that exists in the box.
So I think my first experiment must also be a study of real existing behavior.
In fact, I didn’t know what I was going to do at first. I decided to walk around in order to observe the behavior of the people I met. Then I came to the supermarket. The most common thing here is people’s selection of items. Some people do not seem to have a clear purpose. Some people study the size, shape and weight of a product very carefully. In the process, everyone ’s research behavior on the same product is completely different. Furthermore, I also selected one of them for follow-up observation.
When I started organizing the photos and videos I recorded, I realized that if you wanted to discover something interesting and you might need to focus on one behavior for a long time and experiment them in many different ways. In light of this, I gave up this research and development of public behavior, which may take too much time to collect data.
Based on my previous experience, I decided to focus on a behavioral experiment and narrow it down, which would make my research more specific.
I have the habit of collecting wine bottles, and I put them together, and something special might happen.
This time I performed some acceleration, slowdown, and flashback processing of the original video. Unfortunately, this is a bad experiment. After discussing with the professor and group members during the class, I found that there was no clear expression of an emotion in this behavior, and I could not confirm its significance.
In the process of exploration, an action derived from me is very representative, and I didn’t realize it before. When I begin to record it, I felt that it often appeared with tension and anxiety. Then I made this behavior in the original video at different speeds and put them together to feel. Actually, if this short video is used as an element, and then it is processed in a repetitive and symmetrical manner.
