- Who R U(2min)
Create something that can describe yourself, It doesn’t have to be concrete. it can be any object, line or abstract thing. Just a symbol to represent yourself, just like your social avatar.
- Protect me(3min)
This thing you have made has come to life, and it will accompany you into this dangerous network world. The alarm has sounded! Hackers sent zombies and viruses to attack. There is a door in front of you. They will arrive in 2 minutes. Please make something quickly before you enter that you think can go to protect you! It can be weapon or magical mascot.
- Last Words(3min)
The door opens and you enter into the secret room. The place was pouring out heavy smoke and you lose consciousness.
Now leave a crucial message on this card, something or signal you want to say for future explorers, which can be the location, let the people behind you know that you are here and come to the rescue, or some feeling you want to express now.
I suggest less in 10 words is the best.
- Next time(3min)
①The partners you made used the weapons you made to help you magically defeat the hackers on the Internet and make the online world colorful. You are particularly grateful for it, but it will soon freeze and can’t move.
Make a photo with all of them, put them together on this piece of paper, then become your splendid story.
②At the same time, don’t forget to draw an entrance quietly, maybe you can dig a strange hole in the photo, so that you can enter the fantastic world of the Internet through it again.
(Second Version)√
Hello everyone! Welcome to our workshop, Fall into the network world! I’m the host and your friend Ariel. You know, the little mermaid who has the red curly hair! The common thing we both have maybe is curly hair. Join me today to use the artist’s toolkit to explore the virtual world! Use different materials as much as possible!!! I think you will have an unusual and unforgettable experience. You know you are still in real life right now. But it’s time for us to go.
Just imagine that today is Friday night after school, and there is no homework this weekend. So relaxed isn’t it? You are humming favourite songs on your way home or dormitory or apartment, yes you arrive at it and throw away your backpack，sitting in front of the computer and thinking about what you are going to do.
Maybe you are going to open social media or steams. Just logged into your social media account, your friend sent you some photos. When you click on the message box, you see some pictures of cats. You click on the photos to open them. Something weird happens！！
The message box starts to shake and strange sounds come from the computer. What’s that?? The computer gets some problems? Or are you hallucinating after watching too many TV series of strange things?
Then a hole appears in the computer, you lose control and fall into the Network world.

I really appreciate for your participation in this workshop. I hope you guys have fun. If you are interested in computer art, you might go to a virtual exhibition or start an adventure on the Internet to explore more about them. These are very interesting, even if you don’t know how to program or computer, you are not limited to the impact of the epidemic.
