Objects that misbehave, fail, or exceed their expected functionality serve as provocations, revealing the hidden assumptions, social norms, and economic logics embedded in their design and use (Ahmed, 2017; Braidotti, 2013). These experiments
interrogate relationality, material agency, and the convergence of the functional, sensual, and magical (Haraway, 2016), demonstrating that objects can operate as speculative interlocutors—or “oddkin”—in knowledge production (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987;
Loveless, 2018).

There is only as much as one can do
