mun
MUN (warmbot for children’s hospital) Just after the project above BESIGN had the opportunity with one of the biggest hospitals in Korea, Seoul National University Hospital, to plan and design a robot for child patients. BESIGN used keywords from the line of an ancient song in Korea “月印千江之曲(the moon’s reflection stamped on a thousand rivers and valleys)” as a direct slogan for robot design, instead of using words familiar to this market. By following a story in this line, I wanted to give a moon to each patient’s room. Therefore, a robot’s outlook had a human touch so that it was different from printouts from a computer. Through this process, I could experience and learn about how to create things that bring empathy. However, I know that this idea fades away; time changes quickly in this technological civilization. I am now attempting to think about a more complete creation, and how to communicate with the world by using my creation.
