Show HN: Designed caps to explore techno-social control (uncapped.art)
1 point by plawlost 5 months ago | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
I've been thinking about how we consume and internalize information in our hyperconnected world. This led me to explore these themes through physical design - specifically minimal caps with provocative messages. The project aims to question our relationship with technology and social control, drawing inspiration from Orwell, Huxley, and modern tech criticism. Key technical aspects:

Custom Manrope typography implementation Minimal design system No traditional marketing Direct-to-consumer approach

Website: uncapped.art Curious to hear HN's thoughts on using fashion as a medium for technological critique.




The hat that you’ve used to display the various messages is falling apart, as can be clearly seen by zooming in.

Also…$45? Is that some sort of joke?
