| Experiment 1: Wooden Hand |
Super Prosthetics Project is about exploring
armwear as an object of empowerment, choice and identity. The purpose
was to conduct a series of creative experiments to challenge current
ideas of prosthetics and explore what a wearer might choose to create in
that space if he or she could have any functionality or aesthetic.
The project has been conducted at the Royal
Collage of Art in London by Becky Pilditch and with the help of Holly
Franklin. It has been developed in conversation with individuals who
wear and make prosthetics limbs and the blog has been created to make
the process visible for those who wish to share ideas and continue
dialogue on the subject.
Each experiment took the form of an object,
created for Holly to wear and critique in a public space. The final
result was a repertoire of objects that explored the relationship
between Holly, her hands and her peers, for the purposes of positive
social interaction.
