Furry Object 2.0
The Modern Amulet
THE MODERN AMULET is a collection of USB keys. It is part one of my two concepts for Kopenhagen Fur's competition; The Golden Fur Neadle. The project can bee seen as a continuity of my MA project Deviated Evolution where I worked with the relationship between humans and their portable electronics, and the lack of emotional appeal these products provide. With The Modern Amulet I have tried to balance the emotional value between the information we carry and the objects we use to carry them.
Den Gyldne Pelsnål
Kopenhagen Fur, 2009
For this collection I applied natural materials like wood, leather and fur to the usb key. These materials provide unique character, and sensory experiences which create a greater emotional value within the physical product. Ending up with a more balanced connection between the ‘content of desire’ and the ‘object of desire’.
