CRRUSH tries to find coherence in liminality, a series of possibilities—and also of anarchy—in product design and see how they unfold in the form of wearables and affordance.

What you see is what you get. Well, not really, at least not always. Many objects are designed mostly with a specific intention, but when it is in use, users can manipulate, deconstruct, and mold the object to cater to their needs based on how the users perceive what the object can afford to do.
To the naked eye, maybe there’s a universally accepted notion of what a certain object is for. Take a glass bottle. Its water-proof glass material, endurance, and graspability afford it to be used for drinking. Easy to use, straight to the point, and safe. But, what if someone put their own intention to it? They replace the drinkable water inside with flammable liquid, change the bottle cap to a fuse, add fire, and boom.
Now, folks, safe is definitely out of the picture.
