1. CONTEXT: I know its about immigration, I suppose the context would be the United State's intolerance towards accepting Mexican people in to the country? I'm not sure.
2. CONTENT: A phone app created by Ricardo Dominguez that caught the attention of the FBI.
3: FORM: Website but I was reading an account of an interview, so interview probably. The medium of the art created by Dominguez was poetry.
4. STAKEHOLDERS: FBI, border patrol, the american government, Mexican people living in both Mexico and USA, and scholars at UCSD.
5. AUDIENCE: Mexican people struggling to get across the border.
6. ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES: The app was created to guide people across the border and the American government is super racist so they tried to shut it down.
7. GOAL: To guide people across the border.
8. VALUES: To create poetry that people can both listen to and use as a guide when crossing the border. Raising awareness withing the US on this issue.
9. RESOURCES: Funding from UCSD to create the app. Intangible: the poetry, and perhaps hope that this app brings to someone stranded in a desert.
10: OUTCOMES: Well I've gathered that they did not shut down because the app is in fact completely legal. I might be misunderstanding the practicality of this app, but in my mind this literally guides people through South California by using poetry. Is this like a hidden message type of thing? Is the poetry obvious? I understood his principles of activism and why he did it and why the "Law" wouldn't want something like this...but I don't understand the technological mechanics of the app they tried to describe on this article.
