The Deep Space program of PAC-MAN comes back this year’s festival. This research project was led by a unique creative question, last year. “What would a non-verbal language to be shared beyond cultural boarders be like?” This research project is moving to a new stage this year. The project focus on the emotional part of a person, and it assumed that Funguage expresses the emotions straight, including parts that cannot be verbalized. “How can we express our invisible feeling openly?”
