<Neurodi-*stance> is a speculative product design initiative that originates from the innate, temperamental characteristics of its protagonists, Yujin and Juhee. Yujin and Juhee are neurodivergent individuals who experience sensory hypersensitivity in crowded spaces. Their work began from the realization that conventional, narrow, and standardized notions of social distance do not fit their needs. By transforming everyday spaces and objects to reflect a "distance that works for us," they open up a dialogue about social distance and neurodiversity. Rather than simply solving a problem, their products focus on making the issue visible, aiming to broaden the conversation around how social distance is defined and experienced.
