One day, amidst the coal mine, a curious little r obot stumbles upon something unusual – a dandelion. Fascinated, the robot places it into his chest furnace, and the flames disperse the dandelion in to a flurry of seeds.\n\nMesmerized by the airborne dandelion seeds, the r obot tries to catch them, but repeated mishaps result in the seeds perishi ng one by one. Frustration overwhelms the little robot, and he kneels in d espair. Suddenly, the last remaining dandelion seed brushes past his shoul der, drifting into the distance. The robot stands up, chasing after it, dr agging the pipe, the city, and all the other robots behind him.\n\nThe inf uriated city opens fire on the little robot, damaging his limbs, furnace, and eyes, but this doesn't deter his determination. Ultimately, as the dan delion 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, bu t the heartless city responds with artillery fire, sending the robot plumm eting off the cliff.\n\nDescending, the little robot is enveloped by a rad iant white light below the cliff. Unbeknownst to it, in the valley beneath , lies a vast dandelion field. The robot crashes into the sea of dandelion s, creating massive waves of dandelion fluff. These dandelions ascend, gra dually engulfing and cocooning the city.\n\nRegistration Category: Full Ac cess, Enhanced Access, Trade Exhibitor, Experience Hall Exhibitor URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2023/full-program?id=caf_146&sess=sess218 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
