Material Taxonomy
Interview for a material partner in the Annual Blind Dating Convention (ABDC).
Hi! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to ask you a range of questions to see if you’re a match.
Let’s do this.
I love food, do you?
I must admit, I’m known to wrap food up; I do a good job keeping the heat in and I can seal the air, which keeps the food inside fresh.
Do you like music?
It’s hard to listen to anything else when I already make a lot of noise myself. If you wave me around or crumple me up into a ball I sound like rain.
Would you like to go out for a drink?
I’m pretty lightweight and I can’t absorb liquids, though I am able to hold a handful for a long period of time.
Would you consider yourself outgoing?
I’m happy for a stroll out, but I tend to get lost when the wind is strong. Also, I have an unfortunate tendency to hurt people’s eyes because I am a shiny surface, which makes me reflect light.
I’m an environmentally conscious person, what about you?
I’m 100% recyclable but I’m not biodegradable. I can be chemically degradable if I am exposed to certain acids.
If a situation heats up, what will you do?
I can handle hot situations because I’m a good conductor, but never put me in a microwave. I reflect heat.
How do you intend to support me?
It depends what shape or form I’m in. When I’m a single sheet, it’s very difficult. I break if I get poked and when I am ripped, it’s hard to control the direction of the tear. However, if you apply pressure on me and turn me into a tight form like a solid ball, I become much more robust. Finally, I’m quite bendy if you roll me up.
What supports you?
Any kind of object really, I am very adaptive with most surfaces and can mimic its shape, texture, and form like a mould thus creating an interesting play between positive and negative space.
Are you easy to handle?
It’s depends how much of me you have! I can vary in volume and weight. The more you have, the stronger and heavier I am.
When I hug you, will you crumble?

When I hug you, will you crumble?
Definitely, I am very delicate; you might even tear me
apart! I change shape when I get crushed
and develop creases and wrinkles that never fully go away even when I’m
stretched out again. The slightest touch of a fingertip will leave an imprint
on me.
Are there any other qualities that I should know about?
I’m quite a versatile material depending on how I am handled. I’m very useful in manufacturing processes such as packaging, and I’m famous enough to be up on the periodic table.
