research–plastic reflecting
环保主题的交互设计

“Interactive mirror reflecting you in real pieces of ocean plastic. The amount of plastic in the oceans keeps growing. The plastic degrades to nano plastics that enter our food chain. Research shows that it can nestle in our fat and muscle tissue, turning us slowly into plastic.”
case studying

这套装置用来自世界各地的海洋塑料制成的塑料像素来反映观众。与装置的互动使观众有了这样的想法：他们此时的动作可能会影响到以后日益严重的环境问题。
这工作给人的感觉既有自然的，也有人为的。它探讨了我们的行为在多大程度上仍然对人与自然之间日益扩大的差距产生影响的问题。
运用了更直观的材料选择体现主题内容，可以使观众有主导作品实现的权利。真正意义上实现非被动交互，并用交互点名主题。而非一个装置艺术：大家看不懂其中的用意，作品和audience分为两个独立的关系。

Background research
https://lentheplumber.com/blog/top-10-ways-youre-wasting-water/
-“The US News reports that an average household can leak more than 10,000 gallons of water per year.It’s important to keep an eye out for leaks around your toilet, faucets, hose bibbs, and any other plumbing fixture that you use often.”

-The World Health Organization estimates that one out of every six people do not have access to safe drinking water, and approximately 3,900 children die every day due to waterborne illness. While residential water use only accounts for about one tenth of the total water consumption, every little bit helps and if everyone were to be conscientious about their water usage, the amount of water saved would be substantial.
-The climate change itself has contributed to increased water consumption because it causes wetter wet regions and more arid dry regions. Water reservoirs are unable to handle bigger floods of water, and crops and trees often end up wilting or dying when water dries up.
reasoning
Alike the case I studied above, this interactive design project is a call on for the significant global crisis. Water waisting
For this project, people see how much water they are waisting/using after the foul water leaks into the big transparent tank below.
Would you still choose to leave the faucet on while you are brushing your teeth…?
