Max Baez - A Cloud That You Can Wear
This project spans the entirety of my final year at Pratt Institute. It began in the Design in Context studio and was completed in the Design for Protest thesis studio. Through this project, I aim to explore the effects of rapidly progressing technology, specifically facial recognition technology on our everyday lives. It has culminated in the creation of three different objects for varying contexts. Through these three objects, I explore how they might affect the idea of protest in each of the different worlds they live in.
