We are surrounded by products that dictate our scope of action and shape our personality in order to „survive“ in today‘s society. Our needs are co-determined by professional design. Products unconsciously become cyborg-like extensions of the body, we carry around new extremities and organs, literally tie them on to ourselves. We want to make individual product-related dependencies visible and tangible by offering an object as an interactive, intervening confrontation. EDC („everyday carry“) allows users to reflect on their own dependencies by empowering people to regain the creativity and freedom they have given up for comfort.
