Cardboard Armor

I was looking for something else and stumbled across this at

I must admit that is a use for a closed face helm that I never considered. My first thought when I saw the pic was that somebody went to a lot of effort fully assembling the pieces of an armor pattern.

The Risk Facilitator is a suit of armour, made from cardboard. It is a tool designed to help me take risks by facilitating existing contexts and instigating new ones. It works at the point where the user would otherwise be unwilling to take a risk. It provides a synthetic form of courage as a layer of placebo-protection. It could be used in many different situation but I did have a specific intervention in mind: I’ve always felt uncomfortable and self aware dancing in public places, like at weddings and in nightclubs. With the armour I felt capable of dancing in a public space without too much concern.
