Introduction——Why the Tophet?
At present, our earth is threatened by some problems: global warming, environmental pollution, nuclear war…… It is the time for us to take action addressing those problems. However, some people are not aware of those urgent issues and even refuse admitting the presence of global warming.
Combining sci and art, we developed a hypothetical dystopian world where very few people were living in a hot planet with only a little natural resource available for the society. We warn people with the miserable world we will live in if we do not act on climate change immediately. This could significantly raise people’s awareness.
Recently there is a new phrase called environmental desperation. Our project is not designed to make people feel hopeless about climate change by creating a dystopian world. Therefore, we will also present solutions towards those environmental problems in and out the hypothetical world. By telling people what to do with stories is much more effective than classes or lectures.
