This society forces you to be "normal". As you are "one of us", you must be slim. You must get degree regardless of your interests in learning. You must get job before you are too late. You must obey. You must love someone with opposite sex. You must go out with someone. Girl must be emotional. Boys must not be emotional. If you miss any of them, you are under pressure of being behind. As a matter of fact, we can both be perpetrator and victim of this system. We suffer being stuck in social standards, while we are obsessed with finding others who are breaking the standards at the same time. "If you go on a diet, you will be much more beautiful." "What a shame on you. Till when are you gonna waste your time while others get employed and married?" "They all do this way. Why aren't you doing the same way?"
<A Cornered Stone Meets the Mason's Chisel> is a game which is telling about this society. The goal of this game is to eliminate all the fish who are contradictory to the standards of each stage. First there are various kinds of colorful fish, but as you destroy those who are out of standards, only the same-well-fitted fish would remain. When the game's over, the result panel shows the fish remaining at that point. The more score you gain, the more vacant the result panel will be. This game was displayed with five different postcards and a poster. Five postcards shows five different result panel each. Visitors picked one of those postcards accordant to their game results after playing the game. Poster showed my message more directly to the visitors. It was a poster made of texts of mean words we heard from society. These assembled texts become the shape of fish. I thought the crowd following the social standards without their own reason quite resemble the school of fish. These people constantly regulate each other, breaking the cornered fish. Through the game, I wanted to ask audiences if the society would really be a utopia if we destroyed all the cornered stone with our chisel.
