Bridging Society was an individual piece created as part of the second co-lab where teams researched into the Anthropocene and man-made environments. This particular group looked into our own individual outlook on bridges. This interactive virtual experience takes you on four very different, yet incredibly important journeys following the building of a bridge between lands.

ABOUT MY WORK
The project brief for Co-Lab 2, a cross-departmental project within the undergraduate degrees within GSA, teamed up individuals from various departments and assigned us the task of collectively researching and brainstorming what connects people together, with specific focus on the Anthropocene and man-made interventions.
As a group consisting of myself in Immersive Systems Design, a Print-Making Artist and a Sculpture Artist, my team worked to find common light in bridges across the city and the inherent connectivity that the bridge was both created for and provides. The team then split to produce individual pieces within our own disciplines, of which I produced Bridging Society, an interactive narrative experience.
Bridging Society was created with the use of the Fungus visual scripting package for Unity to create an experience the player can fluidly navigate throughout, with various opportunities to go back and discover anything that was initially missed. The experience surrounds four key factors that I felt were most effectively contributed to by bridges: Economy; Trade; Culture; and Family. This experience allows the used to follow a narrative designed with each of these four factors in mind, to gain a new perspective and new outlook on why bridges are so important.
