Ear Spa | 耳疗愈

《Ear Spa》是一个为耳机上瘾人群设计的多感官形式的疗愈叙事体验，它构建了一个以“耳机上瘾”为主题的故事世界。该体验以“Spa”为主要呈现形式，一共包含六个步骤，分别为：信息登记、测试、沐浴、理疗、茶歇与日后护理，通过多元的叙事媒介创建一场身心与耳朵的对话。

《Ear Spa》将生活中的环境音作为疗愈的主要手段和方式，从而警示耳机上瘾所衍生的一系列潜在问题，并给予对应的缓解和疗愈。体验中所涉及到的所有疗愈声音皆来自事件发生现场的真实环境，这些声音被有机的结合在一起再次介入体验者的听觉系统与意识中。环境音对观众听觉系统的再次介入，重新创造参与观众与周围社会环境的再次联结，观众通过体验得以重新审视准赛博时代下耳机与我们自身的关系，达到疗愈和警醒的效果。

《Ear Spa》荣获2022年世界舞台设计展（World Stage Design 2022）新锐设计师单元非常规设计第一名（First Place Award）。
