dc.description.abstractThe Carry-on for Consciousness is a hard shell wheeled carry-on luggage bag with embedded electronics to allow for embodied travel writing during the most mundane aspects of a flying vacation. A traveler can wheel the carry-on around the airport and look down at the luggage to see eight motorized faders moving left and right toggling through each letter of the alphabet. The faders' movements are powered by sensors mounted on the glasses, chin, wrist, and ankle of the traveler. As the traveler blinks, chews gum, swings their arm by their belt in a natural motion, or walks and moves their ankle past their opposite ankle the accompanying faders will move. The traveler can type an up to eight letter word as an intentionality or goal statement to help them remain centered at the airport and reflect on their journey once they return from their destination.
