Idea #16:
7,000 Steps Per Day Initiative
Description: This project is based on a well-known piece of advice that has become widely accepted. That is – to improve ones personal health by taking 10,000 steps per day. Our approach of using the 7,000 numbers is two-fold: First, 7,000 can be seen as an interim threshold, a great improvement over the 1,000-3,000 steps taken by an average sedentary person. Second, 7,000 steps is a perfect number to represent the amount of increase required to move from “sedentary” to the optimal 10,000 steps per day.
Objectives:
* To experience this healthy activity personally.
* To draw more attention to this activity/technique.
* To explore ways of leveraging this concept into artistic applications
