Autonomous Objects: We are making a series of experimental prototypes that explore the ubiquitous but novel relationship between humans and objects. By reimagining the messages behind everyday objects, the project enables everyday objects to communicate and negotiate with us in their (possibly) preferable way.
Possible examples:
1. Printer: A printer who needs a break occasionally.
2. Hand Dryer: A hand dryer who messes with you.
3. Clock: A clock from China who only wants to live in the Beijing Time.
