Facing mortality

The modified display was part of a cultural probe, which I had handed out to different test persons from different age groups. Back then, I asked the test persons to place the display at a place, where they spend most of their time. The display itself counted down the remaining life time of the test person based on the difference to the average life expectancy in Germany. To support a continous examination of the own mortality I handed out daily tasks which dealt with this topic. All in all a challenging probe which gave me insights I never had had expected before.
