Ruination Exploration

An interactive experience exploring human destruction of natural environments.

Looking to highlight the importance of cooperation and collaboration as tools to preserve and restore our damaged world, this piece explores the effect of human activities on three natural environments: forest, ocean and tundra. While these are certainly not the only environments affected by human development, they are key to our survival as a species and as a whole planet. The floor projection highlights what environment is being inevitably destroyed, and the lighting in the columns serves to remind us to explore and understand our effects within our immediate space. By recycling the levels, you can infinitely preserve the space, but we are also aware that it is only together that we can facilitate real change.

This project was made using Microsoft Kinect, Unity, Arduino and a decent amount of sweat by: Cheng Cheng, Jack Bushnell, Lucas Ma and Matt Van Rys.
