This contraption was the first experiment to defy normative ways of being. It was created by simulating the circumstances of the speculative reality of this thesis, where the CD player was “found” and was projectively read as a technology without an origin story. The act of taking it apart and queering the privileged rotational movement to create a cooking/ eating device is a shift in perception—technology is not read in terms of what it is and can do, but rather what it affords as a shape-shifter.
