MoneyClip / Defeating signature
Royal College of Art, 2005.
Two different proposals for new chip technology. Developed for Visa competition.
The first proposal integrates two features: it works as a credit card incorporating the new chip technology and at the same time it works as a clip, so the user can attach bills to the card. The new card fuses together the traditional (cash) and modern (credit). Inserting the chip card to the reader implies a vertical use rather than the horizontal swiping. As a result, the language and layout of the card changes.
The second proposal incorporates a cut out with the owner’s signature. The new chip technology replaces the use of the signature, which eventually will vanish. The user can use the card as a template to sign with its own signature.
