Name ideas

Hey guys, I meant to post this way back on Friday . . . been a more hectic weekend than I expected haha.

I played with phrases, still haven't found "the one" but here are the ones I like the best.

Solutions to Problems
pretty straight forward - artist and designers experimenting and solving problems. The show being the results.

Something Good, Something Better
Since the projects all have some social factor in them and none are based on aesthetics alone.
This could be fun to play with for our marketing too I think.

Smoke and Mirrors
Since most of the projects also deal with perceptions and the realities behind them, or the deeper truths or with being more up front and real, this could be an interesting take.

Positive Feedback or Feedback Loops
From the Wiki on Feedback Loops-Feedback describes the situation when output from (or information about the result of) an event or phenomenon in the past will influence an occurrence or occurrences of the same (i.e. same defined) event / phenomenon (or the continuation / development of the original phenomenon) in the present or future. When an event is part of a chain of cause-and-effect that forms a circuit or loop, then the event is said to "feed back" into itself.
On Positive Feedback -A system exhibiting positive feedback, in response to perturbation, acts to increase the magnitude of the perturbation. That is, "A produces more of B which in turn produces more of A". The key feature of positive feedback is that small disturbances are amplified. When positive feedback is present, there is some causal loop where a small change creates an effect that causes an even bigger change, like a ball rolling down an increasingly steep hill.

I've been racking my brain trying to find a cooler way to phrase these. I really like the idea of the title of the show recognizing us as makers being both influenced by and influencing culture. It's something we've talked about in many of our classes and relates great to our topics I think. I love the idea of owning up to your role in culture and society by deciding how to influence it and how to be influenced by it. Another one along this lines is, "Us, Them, You, Us" I think it is interesting, a little different- though that could read as pretentious once again. But it sort of says, "there is no us and them, only [all of] us together. It also vaguely hints at that idea of our place in the feedback loop.
hmm, Influencers and Influenced or something like that? Maker - User - Maker tested well with some people I asked haha. what about Feed It Back? no, you're right, that sounds stupid.

While I was researching this, related terms included: Self-Fulfilling Prophecy, which is also interesting.
From the Wiki for Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: "A self-fulfilling prophecy is a prediction that directly or indirectly causes itself to become true, by the very terms of the prophecy itself, due to positive feedback between belief and behavior. Although examples of such prophecies can be found in literature as far back as ancient Greece and ancient India, it is 20th-century sociologist Robert K. Merton who is credited with coining the expression "self-fulfilling prophecy" and formalizing its structure and consequences. In his book Social Theory and Social Structure, Merton gives as a feature of the self-fulfilling prophecy: e.g. when Roxanna falsely believes that her marriage will fail and fears such failure will occur that it actually causes the marriage to fail."
hmm, "between belief and behavior" is interesting too!
