YVR web and app is a (Q&A) question and answer platform where users can make questions that begin with “Why we are...?”. As a discussion network on social media, users see questions and answers and join them to see what other users are commenting on. Users can interact with each other on similar issues and topics, which are focused on humans because all the questions refer to the role of “We” in “Why we are...?”

My interests in designing YVR apps and the web are to focus on user interaction and a minimalistic approach to creating social media. Regarding user interaction, I was curious about how many users will be interested in participating, how they will interact, and what questions they will ask. Even personally, I wanted to know how many could be made with “Why we are...?”. The minimalistic approach for me is to design an app that focuses on context and interaction rather than socialization among the users with the ambition to awaken inquiring minds.

the “Why we are...?” project consists of developing the app and web, data gathering and analysis (user interaction data in the app and web), film, and installation (due to the pandemic, it is presented as a mock-up), which all come together like

pieces of a puzzle.
