DESCRIPTION:Join The Sensing Institute (I-SENSE) for another Distinguished 
 Seminar speaker event with Rachel Plotnick\, Ph.D.!\n\n \n\nSeminar Title: 
 Durable by Design: The “Tamper-Proof” Wristband as Technology of the Wrist 
  Abstract: Digital wristbands that employ barcodes\, QR codes or NFC now pr
 oliferate in hospitals\, theme parks\, concerts\, stadiums\, prisons\, memo
 ry care facilities and resorts. These low-tech bands\, made of tamper-proof
  plastic or paper\, possess no screen and allow for passive tracking. The b
 ands’ materials and their unremovability via adhesive or a fastener are a k
 ey component of their functionality. Indeed\, instructions to music festiva
 l attendees advise them to wait until the event day to affix their bracelet
 s: “once it’s on\, it locks instantly\, and you won’t be able to remove it”
  (Lovin’ Life Music Fest\, 2024).\n\n \n\nThis seminar investigates the fas
 tening of wristbands as a design affordance\, considering how institutions 
 mandate bracelet-wearing\, advertising it sometimes as a perk for exclusive
  access and other times as a security measure for vulnerable populations. I
 t also considers users’ experiences with these bands as they remove\, hack 
 and play with them based on their ideas about durability\, unremovability\,
  and surveillance.
