Spring 2010
ZooXXI is a project team based out of Barcelona, Spain, working with the multi-media company Emotique and the Media Technologies Department at La Salle, Universitat Ramon Llul. Our vision is to create a new way of thinking about zoos for the 21st century by promoting a world in which people take responsibility for themselves, the animals, and the environment. This semester, we will bring a piece of that larger vision to life by creating an immersive, hands-on installation, one that will tell a story of positive human stewardship of the planet. Ultimately, we see ZooXXI acting as a buffer zone between the world of development and the world of nature. In the meantime, and with an eye toward our future goals, we will use technology and interactive storytelling to get us stepping in the right direction.
