An Internet-Connected Machine Strapped to a Tree Will Knock on Wood for You From Anywhere
Knock On Wood is part of Machines Responding to Superstitions, an ongoing series by designers Shashwath Santosh and Nithin Eluvathingal. Each device performs the gesture physically, on real wood, when someone presses a button in a web app — a network of machines carrying out a ritual on behalf of people who are nowhere near any wood.
