Hu-mane wearable
This project is about responding to surveillance in a way that subverts such a state while making light of the circumstances.
I designed a device that would help create a stance on individuals' rights to privacy with humor as a distinctive element that corporate parties have difficulty navigating, allowing the user of the wearable to resist surveillance while drawing attention to themselves.
How it works:
The sensors detect a recording device, at which point the fans open as a signal to others that they are currently being watched.
Within the given timeline for the project (one month), I settled for a proximity sensor which communicates with an Arduino to tell the fans to open wider when anything suddenly gets closer.
