Mr. Rogers and Cultural Spheres

Several Harvard Students discuss the impact of objects, namely a pixelated life-sized poster of Mr. Rogers upon which they have drawn and gained experience from. The discussion mostly centers around cultural labels, ingroup/outgroup biases, and the creation of community around politicized objects.

This video was created for a History of Science class named "Rethinking the Object", which took off from a museum exhibition by Bruno Latour and Peter Weibel called "Making Things Public: Atmospheres of Democracy"
