Unexpected Object: The Frisbee – An Unexpected Tool for Survival in the Wilderness

The Frisbee

Typical Associations: fun, entertainment, running, playfulness, wide open spaces, flight, novelty, single purpose, throwaway

Manipulation: The way I chose to manipulate the frisbee was to take it from it’s normal suburban environment, where the presence of many other objects reduces its usefulness to simply being a toy, then bring it into the wilderness, where the absence of objects transforms it from a tool for entertainment into a tool for survival. Among the many uses of the frisbee include – a plate, a vessel for collecting water, fanning the flames of a fire, a hunting tool to distract prey, a food cover, a paddle, shade from the sun, etc.

New Associations: utility, survival, adaptability, flexibility, multi-purpose, essential, ingenuity, creativity
