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.
