Index of uses

The index of uses answer this simple question: How do we use objects ?

It is a range of animated images of people using object with specific instructions as “eat with one hand” or “drink with your smartphone”. 

The point is to save the movement, create an anthropometric collection to understand and build better object, adapted to the body ergonomics.

Casted objects

Unconsciously, to begin the transformation process of technical aids into singular objects, to mark their "healing", we used plaster strips.

Plaster strips are first of all a formidable material of manufacture. Simple, just soak the strips in the water and accumulate them to create a shape. Even simpler by superimposing them on an existing object. For most people it is in the hospital that we meet plaster for the first time, for others it is on his clumsy classmate who broke his arm or leg or foot, ect ... Good memory of wild art or a bad fall to ski, the plaster marks the spirits because you saw him dismiss a person of his physical abilities. It is our reflective material of predilection, we use it to cover objects of daily life, thus removing their functions we propose another in gestation. Enclosed in its chrysalis of plaster the bowl or lambda plate is proposed with a new gripping. The plastered body is in healing voice, however it will not return to normal. Under the envelope we detect a change that will bring it back to a balance, a functional use. The series of plastered objects is a manifestation against our standardized ways of apprehending the standardized products of our daily life which excludes the original individual. The type object is correct, heal on a case-by-case basis to match a new way of using it.
