Have you ever had neck ache from looking down at your phone? Dry eyes from staring at your computer all day? The Center for Technological Pain (CTP) offers DIY and open-source objects, classes and self-defence techniques to counter such aches and strains. Artist Dasha Ilina founded this mock-company to offer tutorials, tips, worksheets and workshops designed to draw attention to the social and health consequences of our ‘always on’ culture: Is human-centric design really human? As remote working becomes commonplace and we are increasingly inseparable from our smartphones, CTP uses humorous interventions to ask serious questions.
