Great material investigation (for memory and materials, you might also be interested in shape-memory materials)!


However i am not really sure about the direction you took and the outcome you have now...

First question: why would the container not operated when the doorknob is fixed on a door?

Then, our nervous system does not control our memory but triggers it. If you are interested in this subject, you must do further research to have something operative and not simply figurative.

And finally the cultural, familial aspects (of possession, of the idea of a home) and most importantly the idea of scale, and the possible micro-worlds we talked about during the review seem to be forgotten here.
...the inherent symbolic aspect of the doorknob as the access to privacy...
