About this exposition

This project investigates the concept of Do-It-With-Others (DIWO) through the design of a collaborative game that invites participants to collectively create unconventional hammers. By decentralizing authorship and sourcing materials from others—divided into “handles,” “heads,” and “joiners”—the project shifts the role of the designer from maker to facilitator. Three unique hammers were assembled from donated parts, each explored through practical testing and speculative use-cases. This process challenges traditional ideas of tool-making, function, and authorship, and highlights how improvisation and collective input can generate poetic and thought-provoking design artifacts.
