IT ALL STARTED WHEN
I went to the book store named Strand on the broadway, and before that I had walked for 5 hours and drank a lot of water. I found that in that area, the book store become the only place I can go to use the restroom. And I found that many restrooms are very tricky in many ways, people don't talk to each other, don't look at each other, even no eye contact, because once you go into a restroom, you are going to take off your pants, and in this public space, you exposing your private becomes a normal but also a little uncomfortable thing.
I choose the third one to start prototyping because it was one of my favorite game when I was a kid.
World Pees is a speculative object that gamifies men’s urinals to reduce “stage fright.” Imagine this—aliens are trying to invade the men’s restroom and eventually enslave the entire human race. The urinals are the portals through which they pass, and urinal users are the soldiers who must halt this invasion. Will they step forward and shoot them down? World Pees is also an app-based game. The app locates World Pees urinals throughout the city, and tracks the highest scores of each urinal so you can rank your skills as fighting off invaders.
After I finish some illustrations, I feel like making a short video is the best way to tell this idea to other people, so I make it.
Master Piss is another a speculative game through which men can create different kinds of music when peeing on different parts of the urinal. The game brings joy, conversation, and interaction to those peeing in public.
