In the “REAL” game of pandemic mom, the goal is to get through the day without going insane. The adventure positions three players (my two children and me) around a “board” built in the format of a blanket. The size of the board lets you go “into” the game and experience it.

 

The dice embedded in the blanket is "rolled" to determine how many squares a player should advance. Each box indicates which are the conditions to continue until reaching the goal. It seems a simple road... but it won't be.

Long story short? Go here!

The REAL game of the pandemic mom is my final project at Fabricademy: a transdisciplinary course focused on the development of new technologies, the use of biology and digital manufacturing for application in the textile industry.

 

This project is my own catharsis emerged from an emotional chaos, in the middle of the pandemic. In its process, it uses traditional textile techniques, hand and digital illustration, cotton sublimation, natural dyeing, Arduino programming, electronics, 3D printing, generative design, Augmented Reality, 3D scanning and thermochromic pigments.

 

This project -thought, elaborated and lived by me-was my own life-jacket.
