Project Description
Inspired the famous Chinese saying: 'A tweet wakes the dreaming one.' The sculptural design aims to preserve diminishing craftsmanship of traditional bird cage with a contemporary improvisation. It resemble the collective memory of aged people for relieving Alzheimer's Disease. The design hopes to bring a bold propaganda of our cultural heritage as well as awareness to elderly through the seamless assimilation between modern technology and traditional craftsmanship.
In Asia, there's a tradition for men bringing their Acacia Bird in crafted bird cages to parks and mingle with others. The cages serve as social beacons for interaction. This retrofit resin 3D-printed birdcage aims to relieve Alzheimer's Disease progression via triggering social mingling and story telling by elderly in aged homes and not just bringing a luminous point. The luminarie recalls the social beacons in park, a motion sensor gives sounds of birds, providing a multi sensory experience.
