Graduation project
Bump Galaxy
Bianca Carague
Bump Galaxy' is a virtual world and community for mental health and care. It deinstitutionalises healthcare by bringing people together across national borders, care practices and knowledge worlds, blurring the lines between a consumer and producer of knowledge, a giver and receiver of care. Players can visit several Care Commons: a meditation forest, dunes for reflecting on your dreams, a netherworld for facing your fears, a snowfield and underwater temple designed for hypnotic imaginings. They can also meet mental health professionals from around the world, who collaborate to create new practices and knowledge that are archived in open-source Community Care Records.
