Atta-matic series at The 14th A.I.R. Biennial: An A-historical Daydream, curated by Jasmine Wahi, February 12 - March 14, 2021, A.I.R. Gallery, Brooklyn, New York. Photography: Sebastian Bach.
Atta-matic: mind the body is a series of speculative and whimsical wearable devices highlighting the disconnect between our mind and body in a sedentary lifestyle.
The project also takes the form of a short film to create scenarios and put the audience in the context of a sedentary society.
Keybod is a computer keyboard worn on the upper body that forces the wearer to be mindful of the practice of typing as well as their posture.
Click-kick are shoe covers that work as a computer’s mouse with existing energetic movements controlling its cursor.
Text-neck is a collar piece that disrupts its wearer, helping them to avoid staying in a bad posture longer than desired when interacting with a smartphone.
