For our encoded cloth project, we created a futuristic world passport. We envisioned that, in the future, all borders on Earth would be open and people would not need a passport to travel around. People might need a passport to travel through space. Our world passport’s intended effect was to symbolize of a more open and optimistic future. We were surprised at how much work went into each individual page and the overall passport structure. Each page had its own concept and layout, and all the pages were sewn together. We discovered upon finishing the passport that it bore a resemblance to a children’s book. It could be used as a story of hope, the world, and the future for children. It was a challenge to end up with exact, conforming page sizes, even though we measured out each page at the start of the project. Another challenge was putting our pages together, as the final product was too thick to put through a sewing machine. We succeeded in creating a passport that contained many unique pages and ideas. Our combined contributions created a successful, cohesive final passport.
