An investigation into the individual's place within socio-political groups. Individual thoughts and needs are often expressed through groups or societies, which may not accurately express views but collectively make an impact. Is manipulation applied at an individual level or do groups and societies use individuals to express specific views?

We like to think we live in a fairly free society where we make our own decisions but... maybe influence and manipulation in socio-political groups can brainwash people - or actually, do we choose to believe what we want to? Do more intelligent or intellectual people make informed choices or are we like sheep and as much as we like individuality, we also like to belong in society.

This project focuses on the lower end of the socio-political scale, whilst combining manipulation and rioting together as a tool for the acceleration of urban decay and regeneration.
