Pig Chase
27 december 2011

Pig Chase is a game for pigs and humans. The primary aim of this project is to transform the way we relate to the domesticated pigs, through play.
During the design process we discovered something that, to our knowledge at the time, animal scientists had not noticed until now: pigs like to play with light.
I am developing this game together with Kars Alfrink and Hein Lagerweij as part of a collaboration between the Utrecht School of the Arts and Wageningen University.

The video sketch is an illustration of the concept. We are planning to build a playable prototype in 2012.
