Jitters is a project in response to a brief from the Science Museum in London. Each months, on the last Wednesday the museum opens it's doors to adults after hours to explore a theme and enjoy drinks and a silent disco. The January 2018 theme was Food and Drink.
Through research and horror stories of friends, Teddy was given a heartbeat and a caffeine addiction in the name of art and science.
Teddy has a heartbeat of a 60bpm which is the average heartbeat of a healthy adult. Squeezing the IV drips filled with caffeinated liquid makes the heartbeat increase, simulating the effects of too much caffeine on our life sustaining organ. When the alcohol bag is squeezed, the heartbeat decreases, leading to a lot of questions from the public about what happens when alcohol and energy drinks are abused together.
