Retrace the Material Flow





Wearable Interactive Device
Design
2021
Retrace the material flow is a wearable interactive device by which users can re-experience the displacement of the transported goods. The two parts of the device are respectively worn on the object and the user, which are connected by a printed paper tape. The project focuses on the reflection of logistics under globalization and cross regional production: how should we establish a close relationship with goods when their origin is beyond our touch?
