Digital Passepartout
By Antonio Sacchet
This project compares digital keys with analog keys, in order to highlight the different perception of what permissions a digital key gives compared to a physical one. It is helpful to think about how many locks can be open and also how many space can be accessed with a digital key compared to a physical one. Usually a physical key gives access only to a specific single space, a digital key instead unlocks multiple doors to really different spaces. Core of the project is the different level of protection given to the two different types of key. People used to be very protective about physical keys and be careful not to lose them, on the other hand if it is for digital keys, when people forget them, they just create a new one without assuring nothing got stolen. By showing the vulnerability of digital keys the projects make the user reflect on their usage.
