For context, mainland China has been implementing Zero-Covid since the beginning of the pandemic, which aims to control and suppress outbreaks through strategies such as contact tracing, mass testing, border quarantines, and lockdowns. In April 2022, Shanghai went under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2022\/04\/29\/world\/asia\/shanghai-lockdown.html\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2022\/04\/29\/world\/asia\/shanghai-lockdown.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a city-wide lockdown<\/a>, and people were confined to their homes with little time to prepare. The lockdowns were very chaotic as people navigated food shortages and had trouble accessing  people medical care for non-covid related issues. The lockdown in Shanghai lifted at the end of June this year, and people ultimately emerged with frustration, grief, and psychological distress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the months following, outbreaks and lockdowns similar to what happened in Shanghai have been popping up throughout the rest of China. September was a particularly notable month for many, as digital protests resurfaced on Chinese social media, triggered by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/09\/21\/business\/china-covid-zero-policy-bus-crash.html\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/09\/21\/business\/china-covid-zero-policy-bus-crash.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bus accident<\/a> where a bus that was transporting residents in Guiyang (southwestern China) to a quarantine facility crashed in the middle of the night and killed 27 people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[A note on activism in China] Because of the way things work in China, in-person protests aren&#8217;t really a thing there. There are exceptions, such as this series of banners, which were put up one night during Shanghai&#8217;s lockdown and then gone the next morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1019\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.courses.tegabrain.com\/printcode\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-12-at-5.11.30-PM-1019x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.courses.tegabrain.com\/printcode\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-12-at-5.11.30-PM-1019x1024.png 1019w, https:\/\/www.courses.tegabrain.com\/printcode\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-12-at-5.11.30-PM-298x300.png 298w, https:\/\/www.courses.tegabrain.com\/printcode\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-12-at-5.11.30-PM-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.courses.tegabrain.com\/printcode\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-12-at-5.11.30-PM-768x772.png 768w, https:\/\/www.courses.tegabrain.com\/printcode\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-12-at-5.11.30-PM.png 1514w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1019px) 100vw, 1019px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usually, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/restofworld.org\/2022\/china-online-protests\/?utm-source=sharing\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/restofworld.org\/2022\/china-online-protests\/?utm-source=sharing\" target=\"_blank\">protests<\/a> take place in digital spaces, where users repost critical posts as fast as they can before they get censored.

I then decided to focus on generative text instead. The slogan I experimented with at first was &#8220;We&#8217;re on that bus, too,&#8221; a trending phrase expressing how people under zero-covid feel like they themselves can be taken away to a quarantine facility at any time. In my first attempt, I manipulated the position of the text with mouseX, mouseY and lowered the opacity to create the trailing effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"612\" height=\"792\" data-id=\"696\" src=\"https:\/\/www.courses.tegabrain.com\/printcode\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/busprint2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.courses.tegabrain.com\/printcode\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/busprint2.png 612w, https:\/\/www.courses.tegabrain.com\/printcode\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/busprint2-232x300.png 232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"612\" height=\"792\" data-id=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.courses.tegabrain.com\/printcode\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/busprint5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.courses.tegabrain.com\/printcode\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/busprint5.png 612w, https:\/\/www.courses.tegabrain.com\/printcode\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/busprint5-232x300.png 232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"612\" height=\"792\" data-id=\"697\" src=\"https:\/\/www.courses.tegabrain.com\/printcode\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/busprint1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.courses.tegabrain.com\/printcode\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/busprint1.png 612w, https:\/\/www.courses.tegabrain.com\/printcode\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/busprint1-232x300.png 232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upon thinking further, I wanted to think more about how to convey the absurdity and tension around this topic.
