mirror the world's first continuous biometric social platform

What does care look like when it's been fully optimized?


it's 2126. new york city still has a subway. people are still lonely. maybe lonelier. nothing fixed that. until mirror.

mirror is the world's first continuous biometric social platform — a phone attachment that reads your skin temperature, your grip, your sweat response, your heart, and shares it with the people in your life. automatically. every feature solved a real problem. by every metric, things got better. what wasn't measured: what optimization destroys.
a speculative design and tactical media project at Fordham University — deliverables included a physical prototype, in-world subway advertisement, scenario map, and internal schematic.
