Proposal

I brought the ‘Nervous Hatcher’ as a medium of play project. The purpose of this project is giving a chance to comfort to audiences who are living in the exhausted life by interacting with a physical object. We will console each other.(This is not a game. It is a kind of installation.)

Prototype03

My last iteration of the play project involves consecutive three projects from a specific worldview. This is a kind of instruction in a play project. Through the process of solving this puzzle, the audiences can get a hint to how the ‘A Nervous Hatcher’ will work, and at the same time, it is a chance to see what we have forgotten in our life.

   • The virtual creature in the egg will start crying when it realize that it is being watched.
2. Do the puzzle(updated)
   • It implies a hint that why the object acts like that.
3. soothe a crying egg
   • Each egg makes annoying and noisy sound like a child starved for attention.
   • Each egg also shakes their body.
   • Pick them up and socialize with it.
     • audiences can freely interact with an egg
     • pat/knock/hit/throw away/etc.
4. Feel how this egg react
   • It will change its color depends on how long the audience plays with the object.
