Hyper Helmet
2018
Wearable Sculpture
Project | The Hyper Helmet is a assemble-able paper helmet that is composed of a tentacle-ish periscope and a bazooka-esque speaker accompanied with a voice amplifier speaker and a microphone. Once you put on the helmet, you can see from a higher viewpoint and speak with amplified voice. Even your whispers can be heard publicly. The Hyper Helmet addresses the power dynamics in current society, where being taller and louder are characteristics of leadership and authority.

“I created this helmet to appear tall and intimidating, which is unlikely to happen in the current society given my height, age, gender and ethnicity.”
