A TOOLKIT TO MAKE WEARABLES DISOBEY

Obey-Obey-Disobey is a set of cards turning a basic wearable into a provocative object disobeying to its original promise by exploiting selected glitches and snags.
These cards are designed to jam the expected uses and narratives surrounding wearables in order to build new critical ones. This is just a starter to imagine wearable technologies meeting social frictions and highlighting strife. Because all wearables end up disobeying.

The toolkit includes:
Three types of card
Obey:Type, defining the nature and the type of wearable used for the disobedient one.
Obey:Promise, defining the original promise of this type of wearable.
Disobey:Glitches, defining the snags and to be brought.

A Disobedience Model Canvas
“It’s like a business model canvas, but for disobedient wearables.”
Inspired from the Holy Grail of innovative industries and tweaked to also disobey, this grid is here to help you imagine and document your disobedient wearable. Or you just could disobey these instructions and not use the canvas at all.

We would love to hear about the disobedient werables you have designed. Please let us know about your ideas of critical products and share with us your feedback about the toolkit at info{@}design-friction{.com} (without bracket).

(This kit is ready to be printed and assembled by yourself.)
