WHAT:

An interactive game that will make people experience the environment around them.

With a background in architecture and urban planning, I feel an urge to use and play with real space, and I would like it to reflect in my game principles.

WHY:I feel that people are usually so immersed in their thoughts and problems, that they cannot enjoy or absorb what is happening right in front their eyes. If you look well, you will notice that there’s always something interesting happening around you.

FIRST PROPOSAL:At the beginning, I wanted to create something like a Kindness Campaign, and spread notes and postcards with supporting and nice quotes, and track where those postcards would go. Hopefully build a network through it and be able to create interventions in the city with these people.... but it was still to shallow

HOW DOES IT WORK:1) Spread objects in specific places that are meaningful to you in some way and explain why. In the website there will be a list of those objects and the descriptions.

2) If you find one of those objects, you may just take them and leave them in other place that is special or interesting to you, and explain why.

3) Each object will come with a QRcode, so once you find them, or replace, you should scan it and you will redirected to the website, where you can give another life for your object.

GOAL:

1) Create a map of places related by meaningfulness rather than geography, and that can be in constantly transformation.
