Stop and Care: Changing Behaviours Through Participatory Interaction

Published: 13 February 2020 Publication History

Abstract

Stop and Care is part of a project that aims to raise awareness for the urgent matter of water pollution and to change its audience behaviour towards it. The Stop and Care output is a visual composition that represents solid waste floating on water and the amount of pollution in it will depend on its audience. The audience has an active role as the visual environment adapts to their behaviour, representing the impact of the individual care on this subject. By creating a relation between artifact and audience through participatory interaction, we aim to build an experience that goes beyond the moment of the interaction with the artifact and extends to the change of habits of each participant in the future.
