Master Of Animation, Games & Interactivity

Theme: Nature

Context:

Responding to the theme of Play and Nature. I used the garbage I found to make an outdoor interactive game.At first, I tried to use leaves to make stop motion animation, but the leaves just grew out. If the new leaves are pulled off by me, I think it's wrong. So I thought of why not make a game about protecting nature.

Method:

First of all, I collected some garbage from the community, some of which were hidden in the bushes and some scattered on the road. I painted various patterns and words on the surface of the garbage with luminous paint. For example, "garbage" and "don't throw garbage" eventually scatter this garbage in the grass or woods. Luminous garbage will attract people's attention at night.

My inspiration comes from my friend's inspiration and a natural phenomenon - the fluorescent sea. What glows at night is always fascinating. I want to explore how to make the garbage in nature more obvious and tempt people to investigate and take away the garbage.

In S.Korea, about 1140 bears are kept in small and dirty cages for gall bladder extraction to be used in Asian medicine. The biggest reason behind maintaining "Bear Farming" is that Koreans don't have an interest in it. They made the public realize how much influence "indifference" has on bears via a large poster treated with transparent adhesive materials. The footprints left by people have become cages for bears. I think this is a great idea. So I also want to use what people leave to attract their attention  

I observed the people in the community. I found that most of the garbage was thrown away by children. The children gathered together to eat snacks and play games. They throw snack bags on the road without shame. They often look for stones or straight branches together. So I tried to take advantage of the children's curiosity and paint the garbage they threw with luminous paint. So the garbage will shine at night. The night is dark. They can only see interesting luminous patterns. When people want to try to know what it is, garbage will be found. The garbage bag is covered with fluorescent paint that says "take away your garbage". It is hoped that people can protect the environment through this interesting form.
