I re-purposed sweaters to inhibit the use of the wearer's hands and arms. The sweaters were distributed to classmates to try on (see photos below). Some giggled, others experienced slight pain and frustration. In this video a struggle was conducted to amplify the emotional and physical reaction to these sweaters. The wearers were each given simple, physical objectives. My objective was to run across the room. Natalja and Eli's objectives were to keep me against the initial wall.

I extracted all my grunts from the recording and wrote a random mp3 player in Processing to create an endless soundtrack of frustration: maralie.com/grunts.html
