I’d rather share my feelings with the public, freeze and don’t get anything done than wearing THIS!
What on earth were they thinking? I cannot really imagine that anyone would actually put this “wool protector” over their head and hands… in public.
Our interactions with personal electronic devices provoke a broad range of emotional states from frustration to confusion to feverish obsession. Increasingly, these devices mediate our everyday work activities, our social network development and our personal communications. In this paper, we propose a participatory installation that aims to bring critical awareness and consideration to the complex relationship between people and their technological artifacts. These ‘Body-Technology Interfaces,’ (BTIs) in the form of hand-knitted custom wrappers for personal electronic devices, will reflect salient interaction behaviors between the participant and their chosen device.
Um, this is actually quite funny. Ok, we laughed. Seriously, this must be a joke, right?
I’m actually still laughing… damn
