‘I don’t want to be a number’ is a research project and manifesto focusing on wearable self-tracking devices and apps. It explores how these technologies alter and shape our communication with our bodies, delving into the implications of quantifying and monitoring personal data on self-perception and bodily autonomy.

The video ‘Taking My Shoe for a Walk’ is an installation that visualises the manifesto, displaying a room with related posters, a sofa, a foot massager, and a silicon shoe swing serving as a phone holder. Swinging the shoe, tracked by an accelerometer app, activates a foot massager via wireless connection, transforming motion into relaxation. This process, which results in arbitrary step counts, offers a moment of calm and an alternative perspective on self-tracking, promoting slowness over the technology's intrusive nature.
