Dove: Choose Beautiful over Average

Dove's new social experiment asks women to choose how to see themselves. They placed the labels "Beautiful" and "Average" above walk through doorways in San Francisco, Shanghai, Delhi, London and Sao Paulo, so women could choose under which label they will cross. Then Dove, asked them about their choice.

Dove wants to prove that beauty is a choice and the power of this choice is in any woman's hands.

Seems good at first, but if you think it over, this label idea makes the average look really ugly which is not good. I don't say that women shouldn't see themselves as beautiful. They should. The problem here is that Dove labels average as the lowest score.

Kaspersky Lab: One Dollar Lesson

Phishing, trojan apps, brute force methods, etc. With more that $100.000.000 stolen in 2014 from GameOver Zeus malware, we all understand that online safety is crucial. That’s the reason Kaspersky Lab experts have designed an interactive and spectacular web-project called ‘One dollar lesson‘.

Take their digital dollar and embark on a virtual journey that starts at three possible locations: a laptop, a tablet, or a smartphone, and goes through the endless spaces of the world wide web to the destination point — a bank server.

The creative graphical content goes hand-in-hand with information about the different tricks and methods fraudsters use to steal your money and banking credentials.
A dollar is your guide and vehicle in this virtual reality – depending on the situation it shifts from an airliner to a fighter aircraft.

There are three stories you can trace: sending money to a charity in need, transferring money from one account to another, and shopping online. In each case, you’ll see different scenarios. Every one dollar payment will face numerous obstacles like that aim to hack weak passwords, etc. All these risks are shown figuratively. Fortunately, there are ‘good green guys’ in this world who save our dollar and help it reach the destination point.

Diversity & Inclusion – Love Has No Labels

Love has no labels. This installation with dancing and kissing skeletons proves that before anything else, we are all human and calls us to stop discrimination and embrace diversity. To put aside labels in the name of love.

Did you know that we do 98% of our thinking in our subconscious mind? This might be the reason that many people in the US still report feeling discriminated against, though most Americans agree that people should be treated respectfully and fairly.

The important thing is to educate ourselves and watch for biases when they surface. Implicit bias influences how people are treated and how they interact with each other. It can also perpetuate disparities by altering someone’s ability to find a job, secure a loan, rent an apartment or get a fair trial.

To end bias, we need to become aware of it. And then we need to do everything within our power to stop it. In ourselves, others, and institutions. The world will be a better place for it.
