Within this workshop we got to play characters as if within a game. A game about some possible yet alternate and magical future, one in which humanity again gets in touch with nature.

First, we headed to a park as our closest imitation of nature to play the game, just for that fact I found the game much more accurate. A performative sci-fi workshop in man made nature.

Within this alternate future, we played archetypes of this almost utopian world.

Within this alternate future, we played archetypes of this almost utopian world. We got to play a very materialist archetypal character that measures the value of wood. Wood and trees as a primary resource for economy. So far it sounds similar to this world, or our reality, but the plot twist consisted in the measuring technique. We wore long sleeves crafted by Špela herself, and hugged the tree to measure the diameter. The whole time we all maintained a serious attitude and I must say most of my classmates stayed perfectly loyal to their roles. Once measured, the tree would receive a little sticker to mark that it had already been counted.

The act of hugging the trees had an impact on me, at one point I thought to myself if at cutting a tree down if there was this type of interaction in real-life it would make a difference. If before getting rid of an ace instead of just making statistics there where an interaction, the realization of the scale of damage would be more accurate. It is the depersonalized handling of resources, which is to blame for many of the large-scale environmental dilemmas.
