    The project "What We Lose In Metrics" is touching the idea of losing contact with nature. As one of the conceptualist and researchers from gaming industry I was gathering information about games that worked almost like substitutes of real interaction with flora, and their whole plot was set in forests/jungles. Then with a team of other conceptualists we were figuring out how to visualy introduce fake, game world to casual people who are not familiar with games at all.
