SHAPE OF CHANGE, 2009

Please answer the questions below. For the time being, we would request that you do so in English. You are welcome to respond to the questionnaire more than once if your opinions change. You are encouraged to forward this url to as many people in as many locations as possible so that the art works created in response to the data will be as interesting and representative as possible. Data visualizations of the answers will be posted shortly and will update continually.

In the current US election, both political parties and voters across the country have cited the need for change, but people are seldom specific about what they feel change means. How do you define change?

What do you feel would constitute meaningful change in your country? Do you feel this is possible?

What changes do you feel are required to improve the relationship between Iraq and the United States?

What do you feel constitutes true independence?

What do you feel needs to happen for Iraq and the United States to be fully independent of each other and when will you know that this has been achieved?

What do you feel constitutes true individual freedom? Do you feel this is possible in a democratic society?

Are you free to exercise choice in your life? Do you feel you have the ability to choose between meaningfully different political options in your country? If not, how might this situation be improved?

Do individuals have a voice in your country? Do you enjoy freedom of expression? Do you feel that expression should ever be curtailed by government? What is the potential for individuals to affect political change where you are?

What would constitute a secure environment where you live? Do you feel secure, and if not, what would make you feel secure?

Is national identity important and/or necessary? How would you describe your nationŐs identity? Do you think it has changed in the last decade? Is it defined in relation to other countries? ?

What country and what part of that country are you from?
