HABITUAL HACKING
We build relationships with the products and objects we surround ourselves with. A routine and manner of interaction is established.Yet what happens when that routine is broken or interrupted? What can come from the misuse or hacking of these interactions? Possibilities erupt from the tools themselves or us as the user.

What if we turn off our expectations?
What if we let go of the familiarity?
Water, body and pencil are three daily-used elements for many. We aim to combine these in a range of ways, to elevate them in their individual abilities. Once there is familiarity in a tool, we are quick to jump to our assumptions of how we are to use it. is restricts us as a user and the possibilities of the tool. We hope for this approachable exercise to open the common public up to looking at these tools in varied ways; the user is in control. By hacking the user’s body and its movement abilities, we are hacking the tool.
