DEX workshop Paried: Rotten Mask

          Paried Workshop explores how each senses of human is triggered by a smaller scale device such as a mask. this is done to understand how spaces could be manipulated to interact with human's behaviors in a larger scale.

          The method consists of creating a mask which interacts with the wearer, then the heart rate of the user is recorded to investigate how the much the mask has interact with the wearer.

Rotten Mask

Rotten Mask engages user to redefine their sense of disgust by using different texture and material for interior and exterior part of the mask. While the exterior seems fluffy and soft, the interior is planted with modified worm jelly to make the texture as close to an actual worm as much as possible.
