We show different approaches of the students of Interactive Experiences at the intersection between design, technology, society and communication. In their proposals we find narratives that not only stimulate visually, but can also be perceived through the tips of the fingers, gestures, and bodies. Objects, spaces and graphics, analog and digital, for healthier interactions. The clear message that Generation Z not only transmits, but also proposes ways of understanding our world from a transversal and playful perspective. Let's play!

As children, our parents decide what we see and experience.  They can choose to what level we are exposed.  They can shelter us from the harsh realities of war, spare us the grief of losing a loved one or animal and soften the blow of getting a bad grade or nor winning first place.  But how much sheltering is too much? Should children be exposed to loss or should their dog forever be living on the farm? SHould they receive participatory medals or be forced to feel the face the feelings of failure.  What does it mean if cildren are entirely sheltered from these complex emotions? How will they manage in a world that does not spare our feelings? What happens when the rose-tinted glasses our parents give us are taken away?
Our project explores how we now as grown adults deal with these harch realities. The user is sitting in a chair facing a television with a pair of glasses on.  The user is happily distracted by the TV, watching silly cartoons and smiling to themself.  However, the cartoons start to become more violent with war-like sounds.  We layered sounds from the Ukraine war, 911, bombings from Northern Ireland during the troubles and as well as the terrorist attack in Norway in 2011.  The user's facial expression changes, they are uncomfortable.  The video continues, intensifying and speeding up.  The yser brings their hands up to cover their eyes, sheltering themself, instigating the pink inflation around them.  We see a close up as the air fills these bags.  The user continues to cover their eyes as they become engulfed by the inflation.
