Project 02: Critical Wearable -25%
Design and make a wearable that critically engages with one of the topics below. If you would like to expand on an idea you have begun in an earlier portion of the class, such as in an assignment or project, you are welcome to do so, but Version 2 should show significant growth from the first iteration. Your final design should be tested, (ideally with your target population/site but you can also use yourself as a stand-in) and documented through images and/or video. Documentation should be uploaded to Discord in advance of presentation. Documentation quality will be a key part of assessment. Real time demos are also appreciated. Be prepared to explain your concept and process (with images) in your presentation.
Recommended Concepts (I am happy to discuss additions to this list):
- Wearables for non-humans
- Wearable for near or distant future
- HCI, gaming
- Novel interfaces for musical expression and performance
- Inclusive Design
- Sustainability, E-Waste, wearable lifecycle
- Wearable history
- Privacy, Surveillance
- Gender, Sexuality
- Critical Race Studies
Sketch due to Discord: 11/16
