This map explores the different ways “not full” appears in everyday life. I collected objects, spaces, food, and digital examples from my surroundings and organized them by how full they are, why they are not full, and what type of emptiness they represent. The map shows that “not full” is not simply the opposite of full, it can mean used, consumed, missing, unfinished, intentional, or abandoned. Through these categories, I found patterns, overlaps, and unclear boundaries between different kinds of emptiness.

This physical game explores how bees communicate the location of food through the waggle dance. In Version 1, the rules are clear, so Bee 2 can easily understand the direction and find the food. In Version 2, the rules are hidden behind mysterious symbols, so Bee 2 must learn their meanings through guessing, memory, and feedback. Both versions use the same basic system, but the different interfaces change how the communication and intelligence are experienced.

Bees show interesting forms of intelligence through their behavior and communication. Bees can find and remember food sources, respond to their environment, and communicate with other bees through the waggle dance. Even though individual bees exhibit simple behaviors, the whole colony can work together to make decisions and solve problems. This makes me wonder: Is the intelligence in the individual bee, or does it come from the colony working together?

Version 3 is a physical bee communication game that explores how people perceive intelligence. Players know the goal, but part of the communication system is hidden. Bee 1 finds food and sends a signal using unknown symbols. Bee 2 guesses the meaning, receives feedback, remembers past results, and changes its next decision. By adding memory, hesitation, and adaptation, the simple rule-based system can appear to think and learn.

I chose to explore bee intelligence through the waggle dance, a simple form of communication that helps bees share the location of food. My physical card model shows how one bee finds food, returns to the hive, communicates the direction, and helps another bee find the same food source. It also shows how this simple process can create a larger feedback loop within the colony.
