StarPupas app for iPhone and iPad

我們的身軀越愈靠近，彼此的心卻正在疏遠，就像漸漸消失的城市星空，當中手機對我們的影響尤為巨大。《星蛹》邀請你用手機，以一個特別設計的程式去一起看星星是甚麼模樣。燃亮一顆星，並為它命名，讓它成為存在的個體被紀錄起來。燃亮愈多的星星，並在社群中分享它們，星星愈光，黑暗就愈少。我們透過令我們疏遠的手機，將彼此的心拉近，我們就會找到我們所失去的。

參與方法
下載「星蛹」的手機程式後，請以手機掃瞄夜空，收集星光。之後你可於手機上挑選一顆星，為它命名，同時加上你的心底句語。完成後，手機便會閃出亮光，閃耀出屬於你的星星及句語，並與別人分享。

Despite increasing physical proximity between our bodies, there is also a growing, intangible distance between our hearts and minds, much like the starry skies in our cities that are fading before our eyes.
Our mobiles are the most influencing factor in creating this sense of alienation. Star Pupas invites you to discover the stars with an app. The app will identify and light up a star, and allow you to name it so that the star becomes an individual existence in the database. The more stars that are lit up and shared in the bigger community, the more light and less darkness there will be. We pull ourselves back to each other with the very device that has set us apart. We will find ourselves where we have been lost.

Participation Method
After downloading the app, you are invited to scan the night sky with your mobile. You will be able to see the stars in the sky.The app will enable you to select a star, name it, and add a message if you desire.
Once a star has been selected, the mobile will flash and your message will be illuminated and sharing with people.
