The Ma2E4 Toolkit (second bioplastic)

Here I test the experience of the Animal Based Red Berry Bioplastic. I did the test myself. Because of the circumstances, no one could visit me. I don't think this will affect the results, though.

Interpretive Level

I really liked the glossy look of this bioplastic. I thought it would be a bit more red, but it's actually got this really nice gold colour! Holding it against the light really makes it even better to look at. The bioplastic reminds me of the sun. I gives me this warm feeling.

Affective Level

This warm feeling I described before is a positive one, of course. It makes me feel like the material is somehow alive; a breathing organism. This is further enhanced by the bubbles that are visible inside the bioplastic. Like small cells of a larger being. It holds a certain mystery. I want to hold it and mess around with it.
