About

For our semester project, we were assigned the challenge of creating a media installation centered around the concept of invasive species or neobiota. In our project, we deliberately opted to focus on human beings as the subject matter instead of animals. This choice was motivated by the recognition that humans represent the quintessential invasive species.


The "Four Pest Campaign," initiated during Mao Zedong's leadership in China, offered a compelling historical example that resonated with our project's theme. This campaign was named after the four perceived pests: sparrows, rats, flies, and mosquitoes, and it serves as a poignant illustration of how human intervention can significantly impact ecosystems.

Focus

Immersive Experience

We wanted to involve the three senses in our design to create a fully immersive experience.
• animation (sight)
• sound (hearing)
• pot-tapping (touch)

animation

It begins with a calm sparrow perched on a tree trunk. As the animation progresses, the sparrow becomes distressed and tries to flee from the loud pounding of pot by visitors to the exhibition. The sequence ends with the sparrow exhausted and finally falling to its death.

frontal view

This is an overall vector illustration of our model that represents every part of our project and their functions. It should also give an overall idea of our concept.

screens

For a further level of information after the animation, we will go into more detail about the consequences and the information that took place at that time.
We focused on those four informations:
• The "war" against sparrows
• How did it come about? (regarding the four pest campaign)
• The consequences
• The people

Screen Height

We have chosen a height that gives visitors an immersive experience and makes them feel part of the exhibition.
