AirWave

AirWave is a speculative personal device that tries to make overt the power dynamics between user and object. By proposing a tracheostomy as a solution to impaired breathing, AirWave responds to research that demonstrates the impact smartphone usage can have on our respiration. Instead of trying to adapt the smartphone to suit human needs, AirWave suggests adapting the human body to suit the smartphone.

This project is an ongoing series of provocations that attempt to unpack the relationship we have with the things we create.
