Investigates the 'vanishing friction' of digital interfaces. By reintroducing physical resistance, it reveals the heavy labor hidden behind seamless screens.
Background
Polished UIs mask the cost of consumption. We forget the physical toil sustaining our digital ease.
MECHANISM
Using rotary controls, users must exert effort to 'peel' the interface, exposing the raw reality beneath.
REFLECTION
Are we merely passive observers, or are we fueling the machine with our own unseen labor?
