The first artefact was made to be used in a later query were people will be asked to describe what type of a character they feel that the deferent variations of it have. I created these illustrations using 3ds max and Photoshop based on an ordinary object a stapler. I had no specific character personality in mind while creating my artefact but simply to use facial parts as well as changing it in to a more organic structure and see how it will be developed. I limited myself by only changing the shape and adding facial clues on my object adding more human characteristics for example limps that could be used through body language to express emotions that would create too many variables making any of my findings unreliable. Keeping in mind that I have these two limitations of what I can do to my artefacts (objects) I intent to create a variety of characters to be used to gather information and then try to see where it leads me. My hopes are that the last character will seem to be just another one of my artefacts but in reality the expressions will be to express specific emotions and see if the audience can identify them. I hope to show that by imputing facial parts as well as giving it a more organic look help the audience to connect with the character in some way and then express what emotions they attribute to the character. I am interested to see if people see emotions express by the character and most importantly if these emotions are constant from person to person.
