Graffiti Nature and Beating Earth
Graffiti Nature and Beating Earth
Graffiti Nature is an ecosystem of creatures drawn by people.
Color in a creature on the paper provided, and see the picture you have drawn come to life and move in front of you.
Living things eat and are eaten by other living things in one shared ecosystem.
The creatures you draw will multiply if they eat other living things, but they will die and disappear if they do not eat enough, or if they are eaten by other creatures.
The salamanders eat the snakes, the snakes eat the lizards, the lizards eat the frogs, and the frogs eat the butterflies, each one propagating as a result. Likewise, the butterflies multiply in places where flowers grow. Although flowers will bloom if people stay still, their petals will scatter if people walk around and step on them. The salamanders will die if people step on them too much. Living creatures spread throughout the world, increasing and decreasing in number. The creatures you have drawn may be increasing somewhere.
Beating Earth is this artwork space. In a complex, three-dimensional space, perception based on common sense is separated from perception based on the body, and the space appears to move.
At times, the waterfall that flows down becomes Sketch Waterfall Droplets. This waterfall is created from the droplets drawn by people.
Color in a droplet on the paper provided. See the picture you have drawn become one of the many droplets that make up the waterfall in front of you. Before long, your droplet will mix with those drawn by other people and will flow down along the terrain.
When just one droplet splashes it bounces like a ball, but when people use their entire body to gather and collect the droplets, they act like water. When the droplets separate from each other, they bounce like balls again.
A water molecule on its own is not liquid. In order for water to be a liquid, many water molecules must come together.
Because water molecules act like magnets, they stick to each other, forming a group of water molecules (a water cluster). Water clusters have an extremely short lifespan and are thought to be constantly being created and broken apart. They have a very dynamic structure and because of that, water can change into various forms.
Most living things and objects in this world, through properties that are more than the simple sum of the properties of their parts, appear as a whole.
