A voluntary tracker that collects all the information you share with the world and creates a psychological profile of the user. Just like all the other trackers do too.

But MError gives you every evening a personal summary of your day and a glimpse into the data profiling that you normally are not aware of.

And with deep fake technology you are now able to get the news from yourself.

How can you feel touched without being touched? 

You enter a dark room. When you step into the light your shadow appears. It moves like you. It seems to be you. But it‘s not the you of today. It’s an old version of yourself. See what happens when you start to play. And what time changes.

After a couple of weeks into the project, I understood how complicated it was to bring my idea to life. So I asked the only company I could find working in this field, for help. This is their answer:

Since I didn’t have 50.000 USD to spend on this project, I expressed my sincere thanks for their feedback and decided to see how far I can get on my own. 

What surprised me is that their message did not demotivate me, but instead allowed me to dive fully into the project with nothing to lose, since I had it written in black and white that it is basically impossible to do. 

Instead of looking for ways to act out female anger in silence or without attracting attention, I decided to find a way to make it easier for women to be angry at any time of the day without having to constantly look furious or be forced to answer the question “But why are you angry?”

How can you release your anger at home or on the run?

Create your own little biodegradable ring that helps you reconnect with yourself. Through the ritualistic process of making it, using ingredients that everyone has at home, you charge it with a purpose. And when you wear it, touch it, it reminds you to tune in with yourself instead of looking at your phone. 

A ring that you solemnly create to see it die. Though by adding a seed it will grow into a flower. So you can toss it away and enjoy your ritual all over again. 

The first four elevations help you count while you breathe in. The whole in the middle is for holding your breath. Like this you are able to touch yourself for a moment, which can feel soothing and relaxing. The other six notches, while getting smaller, help you count while you breathe out.

The wristband is designed so you can use it in every day life without catching any attention.

I started building different prototypes and passing them to friends and colleagues. After one week of using them, the test subjects filled out a feedback questionnaire that allowed me to learn what is important in daily use and what I should change.
