By Douglas Esser
\nVancie Fu graduated from the University of Washington Bothell in fall 2018 with a senior project for her Interdisciplinary Arts degree that still has her teachers talking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It began as a group project in an Introduction to Interactive Media class taught by Mark Chen, a lecturer in the School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences (IAS)<\/a>. He challenged students to imagine 50 years of climate change and then make something from that world that is discovered 500 years from now. It\u2019s an artifact from the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fu thought it would be fun to create a box with a surprise inside. Chen received more than he perhaps expected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artwork as education <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen really good craftsmanship occurs, it\u2019s always a good surprise,\u201d said Chen, who hopes to arrange for Fu to display her work at a Pacific Science Center event in May. Chen also hopes the piece will be added to the UW Libraries Book Arts collection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It could be seen as a physical-digital game or book that comes in the elaborate cardboard box. A smaller box inside is a time capsule. That\u2019s a visual pun, because it contains capsules (pills not intended to be swallowed) with different dates in the past or future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a capsule to see what the climate was or may become. Interact with illustrated pop-ups and picture pullouts. Scan QR codes to link to a timeline of changes. Discover games within the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou interact through this creative and imaginative format. Every time you turn a corner, you come across this new angle of being drawn in,\u201d said Jennifer Atkinson, senior lecturer in IAS who was the instructor for Fu\u2019s capstone course. \u201cIt\u2019s a really powerful way for her to stitch together different ways of talking about climate change.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A multi-disciplinary approach <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Teaching the senior portfolio course over the years, Atkinson has seen how more students on campus are thinking about climate change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt moved from environmental studies to art, media, cultural studies, social justice and law,\u201d Atkinson said. \u201cWe can\u2019t tackle climate change through science or policy alone.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With elements of art, environmental studies, digital media and creative storytelling, Fu\u2019s work exemplifies what interdisciplinary education is all about, Atkinson said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An international student from China, Fu started taking design classes at North Seattle College. At UW Bothell, Fu said she found life-changing knowledge and inspiration from Chen, Atkinson and Barbara Noah, an IAS lecturer who teaches art classes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning for the future <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fu is now working as a freelance designer in the Seattle area as she applies to graduate art schools in Vancouver and Toronto. Eventually she hopes to work in digital graphic design or to teach art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protecting the environment continues as a theme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn my country pollution is very serious,\u201d Fu said. \u201cI feel art can inspire people to notice the environment and protect it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
