Assignment:
Constraints:
Choose a TOPIC, a DEVICE, and a MOOD
Make an INTERACTIVE Critical Object based on your selections
The technology should be conspicuous ( I should not be able to see your Arduino board / Wires / Motors / ... )
Document your progress, prototypes, discoveries, and final piece
Make a Blog Post
Though Starters:
Choose a Topic that you care about. This will reduce your research time, and strengthen your final piece.
Your Device is your tool to connect with your audience (Sarcasm, Metaphor, Juxtaposition, Irony, Surrealism, ...)
Most likely the Mood will help to setup the tone of the interaction

Critical Objects / Week Five / Headbox /
Assignment:
In groups of 2 design, make and document a Device or Object that is critical about a topic related to technology. ( Data Mining, Mass surveillance, Gene Editing, Digital Ethics, Privacy, Digital Colonialism, etc ... )
Constraints:
The projects should utilize an assigned Attribute, Device and Mood.
The object was constrained by three randomly selected cards from class: interactive, excitement, and absurdity. For a topic, Ben Moll and I chose the inescapability of technology and rising industry of tech escape resorts. Given those constraints, we decided to make a relaxing space for a person’s head to escape the constant inundation and sensorial overload of technology in daily life.
