Resulting in a documentary-style short video, this research based design project challenged us to fully dive into the world of gong baths for four weeks. The aim of immersion was to understand people’s love and infatuation for gong baths. Exploring a topic and community we previously knew nothing about was a challenge in pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones. The process consisted of not only researching online, but also meeting/interviewing those in the community, experiencing it ourselves, and considering new ways in which it could be imagined. In the end, the project resulted in a three minute documentary short video and an accompanying publication with process and supplemental research work.
