Andrew McSweeney – Drün – Ireland

Drün is a combination of photo-scanned objects from nature interacting with each other within a particle system. Inspired by the 19th century English-language children’s rhyme Sticks and Stones, the digital simulation playfully disregards the physics of our planet. The simple message behind the children’s rhyme represents the powerful drive of activists who tackle social as well as climate affairs and their vital role in ensuring equal opportunities are present in our society.
