We are shaped by the things we create.

An effort to feel the evolution in your hands.

Domesticated is a series of reimagined domestic interfaces — a light switch, a stove knob, a sensing panel — that create conditions for reflection on our routine interactions with machines. Grounded in Haraway's theory of mutual co-evolutionary relationship between humans and technology, the project asks: if we are shaped by the things we make, can we design an object that makes that shaping felt? Each interface uses haptics, light, and resistance to defamiliarize the ordinary. Force becomes adjustment. Precision becomes confusion. Sensitive touch is rewarded, and confidence is met with aggression.

Making as design.

The physical objects were modeled, printed, stained, wired, and built by hand. The mechanical and circuit structures are part of the design — not hidden infrastructure but visible argument. What you hold is a prototype of a relationship, not a product.
