OCD Dice
Self Control or Object Control??
Have produced some 'OCD Dice' on the CNC machine in the workshop...
The idea behind them is; I am trying to introduce a level of control over sufferers OCD.
Which got me thinking about control in general and the ways we can be controlled... Self control, second person control, object control.
...Which then got me thinking about the book 'The Dice Man' which involves a man who will not make a decision in life without rolling a dice. Therefor the dice decides for him.
So...the idea behind these dice is that the dice decides for the sufferer. (Object control)
Does this help control or reduce control? You decide!!
(Ive also made two number dice..one for even numbers and one for odd numbers. Just to enhance the OCD message slightly!)
The dice add an element of control...but also an element of complete chance. Maybe dice with the same thing written on them on each side...would better represent control.

OCD Checking Stamp
Some photos of a prototype i made last week of my 'stamp' idea.
The idea behind it is the OCD sufferer would stamp everytime he/she checks something...and the amount of times is displayed on the clicker counter.
Hopefully the number would then act as a deterant. Allowing the sufferer to control their OCD.
