My interaction is to do with how we treat our feet. Most of
us do take our feet for granted, we think of them as smelly and gross, but we
do not take time to thank them for their job of co-ordinating our everyday
movements.
We learn to walk once and from then on never think about it
again, it becomes second nature to us. What happens when our feet (or shoes)
are altered? We lose our co-ordination with the way we walk.
I want to experiment with how we humans learn to adapt to
changes in the weight of our feet and therefore how we learn to walk in a new
way.
My interactive object is a pair of shoes that have attached
to them different weighted objects. On one shoe is a heavy brick, on the other
shoe some lightweight aluminium cans. In order to walk in these shoes you must
make sure that you place even weight on the cans to ensure that they do not
crumble under your weight.
The idea is to acknowledge the unfamiliarity of wearing
differently weighted shoes, the crushing of the can when the user fails is a
way of measuring this.
