The tool I brought:

It's a Heizungsentlüftungsschlüssel!

I love it for it's simplicity both visually as well as functionally, and for it's inconspicuousy that makes it very easy to lose or never even acknowledge it's existence.

Latter is the aspect I want to change, to make it more relevant and change it's usage to a more concious one.

For that I am not tied to it's current usage nor the specific tool. Rather I want to thematise similar inconspicuous tools with little function, that work as keys to access something of greater meaning.

In the context of creating something that stays in the school and serves it's community after the seminar ends, I want to work with the Power outlets in the Atriums…

Currently you can open them by:

-either asking the caretakers for a key (they are not keen on lending them because they always get lost)

-or you search for an M8 Bolt to screw into the opening hole

-alternative opening techniques often result in bruised fingers due to the improvised tool being too small and the covers being very heavy

during experimenting I discovered that a very long key might be very convenient and ergonomic…

                                                 This is how we should be able to put them back.
