Usable Witchery was a workshop which main aim was try to put together people with diffrent skills in order to sensitize youth awareness of the team work in a natural ad intuitive way. Usable Witchery was led by Yaniv Steiner (Nasty Pixel).

As the first step we were asked firstly to choose an object, think about tree photographic setups, sketch them and build them up, secondly take good photos in order to present and document projects as well as possible.

Our group decided to focus on a lipstick. As scecond phase it was expounded the risked of exibithing own works and helpfull methods to protect them with online copyright.

Performativity is an important ingredient the interaction design praxis. Through several sleight-of-hand tricks Yaniv Steiner introduced the relevance of presenting the work and vice versa considering the user observation.

At least we considered the muscles human movements and the movements of electrical-motors. The challenge was to build a human hand and try to avoid typical linear movements of electrical machine. We modeled it after animatronics tecnique just by using strings and plastic tubes
