First prototype of Anti-Distraction device. Aim to eliminate animate surroundings paired with music through ear pieces to reduce environmental sounds and chatter.
I produced a 4 piece computer out of black gaff tape and cardboard. The computer was chosen as the most obvious object when it comes to my autistic sister. However the obsession with computer devices and the internet can apply to anyone, in the case of my sister, I believe I can call her level of obsession extreme. It is very hard to analyse and create an adaptation to the black gaff tape and asked design tutors for help which became a learning experience that my chosen interest area is very difficult to apply to the workshop. So for the adaptation with white gaff tape was to create subtle corner designs that keeps the 4 piece computer in an accurate placement on a table, the same way my sister would always set up her computer.
Keywords: Structure space, specific, mapped, familiar, stable, intimate My chosen material was synthetic hair. This relates to my sisters behaviour towards hair. She would at random times caress hair own/someone else’s hair and other times, she would want to pull out her own hair with aggression. I did not think to connect the two so closely and the objective was just to explore synthetic hair as a material rather than make something meaningful to my project interest, because in the end, it will be meaningful eventually.
I had my tutorial with M. Conreen and he suggested I should try making hair from other materials. So I cut paper into very fine strips and found that the strength of paper decreased and could not hold on. The paper hair would curl itself.
