Single edition animations from "serious game" that's the core of an art installation exhibited in museums and galleries in Tokyo, Hong Kong and South-Korea. Next show at museum USA.

Chikyuchi is a virtual pet inspired by Tamagotchi. This avatar ‘Amazonchi’ represents the amazon rainforest. Its goal is to raise awareness about deforestation. Its health is synched to the (shrinking) surface data of the amazon rainforest through API and is therefore critically low…but you can temporarily cheer it up by playing games with it or cleaning its poop!
