The "Are You Still Online?" social platform campaign aims to explore the impact of hyper-saturated modern media on the Gen Z and Y community in the future. Rather than attempting to solve the problem, the campaign focuses on identifying, clarifying, and gathering data on the issue through creative outputs, social interviews, and experiments. The goal is to gain a deeper understanding of how this demographic interacts with and is affected by social media and digital technology, as well as to stimulate conversation and raise awareness about these platforms' potential risks and benefits. The campaign features Alan Leer's audio and is presented by Nathan Fahm. By leveraging the power of social media and digital technology, the campaign hopes to reach a wide audience and spark meaningful dialogue about the role of media in our lives. The full social platform campaign can be viewed on YouTube at the provided web link.

The Effects of Digital Detox on Young Adults: A Social Experiment : PART 2
During this social experiment, we observed how a group of people in their 20s reacted when they were taken to a living space without their phones. Our goal was to gain insights into the extent of our reliance on digital technology in our daily lives, both socially and personally. The experiment aimed to examine the potential effects of excessive screen time, including its impact on mental health, social skills, and overall well-being.
Participants were forced to engage in face-to-face conversations and find alternative ways to occupy themselves without their devices. As the experiment progressed, participants reported a range of emotions, from frustration and anxiety to relief and joy. Some found that the experience allowed them to connect more deeply with their surroundings and the people around them, while others struggled to adjust to life without constant digital stimulation.
Overall, the experiment provided valuable data on the complex relationship between humans and technology. It raises important questions about how we can strike a healthy balance between the two, as well as the potential impact of excessive screen time on personal and social well-being. Our hope is that this experiment will encourage individuals and organisations to reflect on their own relationship with technology and promote greater awareness and mindfulness around our digital habits.

Utopia : PART 3
In this segment of the project, the focus is on creating a game using Unreal Engine 5 that incorporates post-modern media utopian themes. The game's primary goal is to raise awareness and provide information to Gen Z and Y gamers in an interactive and enjoyable way.
To achieve this goal, the game is designed with several features, including the ability to collect lost utopian items to earn XP, buy utopian items (social contracts) to build a modern media utopia, and avoid getting caught by social media zombies. If the player is caught by social media zombies, they will be thrown into a dystopian future and must figure out a way to escape. The ultimate objective of the game is to collect all lost utopian objects to win.
Through this gamification approach, the project aims to engage with the younger generations and increase their awareness of the impact of modern media on society. By creating an enjoyable and interactive game, the project seeks to provide a more engaging and memorable way to learn about these complex issues and encourage players to reflect on their own digital habits. Additionally, the use of Unreal Engine 5 allows for a highly immersive and visually stunning game environment that enhances the player's experience and makes the game more engaging.
