In this case, the app that connects one with other people blindly takes on a personality of its own. The goal of this setting is to connect the character of Venus and the classical setting with the ways in which algorithms guide our behavior from behind the scenes. https://padlet.com/lu_elearning/jrrbiak1u374/wish/614575680 For costume, I would then reverse the direction and present Venus in an unassuming, dark sweatshirt a la Zuckerberg

His clothes are more natural earthy colours than Venus' but are still essentially Tudor. He has a bow and arrows and a tricksy grin . ]]> 2020-06-08 18:04:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lu_elearning/jrrbiak1u374/wish/617424769 Venus and Cupid https://padlet.com/lu_elearning/jrrbiak1u374/wish/617463853 Cupid is like a huntsmen with a smear of black charcoal across his eyes and small wings coming out of his back. 

Venus has a French style head-dress from the Tudor period (thus antiquated and out of date) with emblems of nature in her hair and on her dress. She has a heard painted onto her face.]]> 2020-06-08 18:28:27 UTC https://padlet.com/lu_elearning/jrrbiak1u374/wish/617463853 Misscorrection Steampunk Venus sharonsadlerwells https://padlet.com/lu_elearning/jrrbiak1u374/wish/647345445 Laced up heart bodice, high heeled boots, criss-cross thonged arms, garter, whip]]> 2020-07-04 12:19:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lu_elearning/jrrbiak1u374/wish/647345445 Venus as Temptress https://padlet.com/lu_elearning/jrrbiak1u374/wish/661324220 I designed and made the costume up - this is a modern Venus, as a temptress.

I imagined Venus in a long red dress - maybe like a 40s Hollywood siren. I lack any artistic skills, but this Google image is a reasonable approximation

As both a and b are related to Wroth's play and life, I believe it is a highly fitting choice!
