About the Work
The Slapometer is a 'watch along' website that lets you 'vote with the back of your hand' by slapping along to the live televised election debates. It's a way for people to express their opinion on the leaders' performances during the debate, by virtually 'slapping' them when they say something particularly wrong. Live graphs show what everybody is feeling, in real time. It is also available in 'practice mode' before and between the debates.
Why slapping? There was an overwhelmingly negative sentiment surrounding this election. We'd just had the expenses scandal. There was a general dislike towards all politicians, and the feeling that there's no one to vote for - only against.
