Interaction Idea, POSSIBLY?

Ok, so i am working along the idea of interaction towards people and objects. I want to look at the way in which we interact with each other. I want to look at sterotypes, judgement, gender, disabilities. The way we instanlty judge someone through the way they interact diffently, whether their clothes are different or colour of their hair. I would like to do my interactive work on a performance art piece by filming peoples initial reactions by the way i interact with them. For example i remember when caprice(the model) appeared on a tv documentry where she agreed to walk around with a face impairment caused by a severe burn, now obviously this was all done by make up and caprice's face was quite dis-figured.She was barely reconginsed as caprice, but more to the point it was interesting how the public interacted with her. Some would look in dispear, others tried there best to be polite and act like they didn't notice, while other's stared from a distant. So, obviously i dont have a make up artist, but i do have face paint, Which brings me to the idea of painting my face in an usual way and walking around brighton hotspots, filming the publics reaction, going into sainsbury's or queueing for the bank. I want to see the way in which people interact diffently to things they do not instantly recognise or what is considered to be different.
