Bioplastics: especially to think about future applications.
Electronics.
3D modeling and printing.
This part is hard to choose for me because they all have aspects that are interesting. I will look through the resources to get some inspiration and to make a choice.
After getting some inspiration I've decided to choose for theme 2: Material Activism & Archiving. For the idea i have in mind it will have a slight piece of the Covid theme.
I got inspired by these resources:
Radical Matter, by Kate Franklin and Caroline Till, 2019.
Biofabricating Materials by, Cecilia Raspanti, 2019
Blood Bio Leather, by Shahar Livne Design
Due to the current Covid-19 situation we have to sit at home and facilities such as gyms and physio practices are closed, we are limited in material with which we can exercise or move. I want to see if it is possible through material properties of bioplastics to be able to make exercise material at home in order to be able to do exercise to stay physically active.
As is described before due the current Covid-19 situation. Because we have to stay at home, we do not exercise enough so that you can start to feel down and possibly become depressed. By exercising this is a way to counter such a thing and to stay in shape physically and mentally.
I want to recreate a balance cushion i have at home by making one from bioplastic and to look at the material properties that it will be the same as what the balance cushion can do.
