作品介绍

本项目通过对城中村外来居民生活日常的观察、调研，捕捉到城中村居民间的社交“触点”——以植物为媒，消融彼此陌生感、从而激发持续性交往。故设计团队以基于废物改造的盆栽装置艺术创作为手段，以《植物房客》交互规则设定为统领，以基于城中村故事纪实的书籍设计为整体成果呈现，放大“植物为媒”的触点，探究以艺术设计介入社会创新方式，激发村民间更多的情感化交流。

The process of urbanization has intensified the fission of social relations, high-intensity work rhythm, and high-density living space, resulting in the general lack of neighborhood communication between individuals, a low sense of belonging to the community, and a low sense of identity. The phenomenon of “Urban strangers” brings many hidden dangers to grass-roots governance. Shenzhen City village, because of its relatively cheap rent fee, townsmen’s preference for living together, with a full range of shops, can solve the needs of life and other characteristics, even not out of the village which is a better continuation of interpersonal interaction. Through the observation and investigation of the daily life of the non-native residents in the urban village, this project has caught the social “Contact point” of the residents in the urban village-taking the plants as the medium, dissolving the strangeness of each other, thus stimulating a continuing relationship. Therefore, the author uses the art creation of a potted plant installation based on the transformation of waste as a means and uses the interactive rules of “Plant Lodger” as a guide to enlarge the contact point of “Plant as a medium”, to explore the art design involved in social innovation, to stimulate more emotional communication between villagers.
