Fun theory : WHAT is that? Example of it piano staircase
On the Volkswagen website their is a video called "Piano Staircase" and in it the video they turn a regular random staircase into one of those piano's that you step on to play such as the one in random stores or online. The purpose of it was to have people walk up and down the stair more instead of taking the elevator or escalator more. And guess what it worked so well more than 66% of people now take the stairs in that area and who wouldn't. In the video you see that they are confused when walking up and down it to only be greeted by a random tune, then over time people start to film one another creating a their own tunes and even challenging one another as well. The concept of it is that it revolves around "Fun theory" which to me means to change something common/annoying/or boring into something different and or exciting for other's joy as well.
other ideas or design for it
During this unit we as Artists are supposed to think of ways of Solving Everyday, Random, or Personal Problems such as having people spend more time walking up and down stairs and not taking lazy easy shortcuts. Ideas I have personally to add on to help change boring/annoying mundane tasks into something fun or exciting. One such idea could be for changing the way we wash our hands. Changing the handles and faucet on multiple sinks to represent records and speakers to add the excitement of DJing in our bathroom(Give up to DJ Faucet!!!! Air Horns in the background.) Another idea is changing the design of those portable cooler into a portable game of tic tac toe, using the bottle caps of any refreshment as your X's or O's when playing against another to make a trip even more fun
