Little Devil / Design Research

is about exploring the benefits of negative reinforcement for encouraging stress-relieving behaviour. It was noticed that non-smokers were hesitant to take a break because they had no reason to. They were scared of being told by their colleagues and bosses that they should be working. This is where Little Devil comes in...

Little Devil slowly moves from its relaxed state, to it's uptight state over a period of 1.5 hours. Within this time you must take a 10 minute break or suffer a funny consequence.
