One da y, amidst the coal mine, a curious little robot stumbles upon something un usual – a dandelion. Fascinated, the robot places it into his chest furnac e, and the flames disperse the dandelion into a flurry of seeds.\n\nMesmer ized by the airborne dandelion seeds, the robot tries to catch them, but r epeated mishaps result in the seeds perishing one by one. Frustration over whelms the little robot, and he kneels in despair. Suddenly, the last rema ining dandelion seed brushes past his shoulder, drifting into the distance . The robot stands up, chasing after it, dragging the pipe, the city, and all the other robots behind him.\n\nThe infuriated city opens fire on the little robot, damaging his limbs, furnace, and eyes, but this doesn't dete r his determination. Ultimately, as the dandelion seed approaches the edge of a cliff above the mine shaft, the robot reaches out and grasps it. He presents the dandelion seed to the city, but the heartless city responds w ith artillery fire, sending the robot plummeting off the cliff.\n\nDescend ing, the little robot is enveloped by a radiant white light below the clif f. Unbeknownst to it, in the valley beneath, lies a vast dandelion field. The robot crashes into the sea of dandelions, creating massive waves of da ndelion fluff. These dandelions ascend, gradually engulfing and cocooning the city.\n\nRegistration Category: Full Access, Enhanced Access, Trade Ex hibitor, Experience Hall Exhibitor\n\n URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2023/full-program?id=caf_146&sess=sess218 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
