Operation Game

 

INTRO

With this game I sought to recognize the growing subculture of "rebellious" acts, that was once common with tattoos and peircing. Body Modification or manipulation is the newest level of shock and awe. I wanted to play with the idea of body modification as the norm. I asked, what is one way this subculture could be mass produced?

 

CRAFT

I revamped the original version of the popular children’s game Operation into an upgraded Body Modification game, in reference to the recent movement of body mods. I constructed game playing cards with real pictures of the modifications, which comes with price tags and tag lines, just like the original game. I relabeled the board game and box cover to suit the new style and name. I also included a board lifter for the transgendered or genital operations, which helps with blood flow.

 

 

SEQUITUR

With this playful look at body modification, I wanted to raise awareness about this coming trend. I also intended to popularize and familiarize these growing trends by placing this in a game for children. The marketing of such a subculture is intended to be ironic because of its nature. Although, as subcultures tend to get marketed and mass produced their hype dies down and becomes the norm. Eventually, raising the next question of how to go to the next level of rebellion.
