The numbers 32, 38, and 42 refer to articles from the misdemeanor law in the Turkish constitution, which address issues related to "public order, public morality, public health, the environment, and economic order... held in order to protect." Upon examining these laws, it becomes apparent that they are vague and can easily be exploited by authorities for their own purposes.

Whether illegal or authorized, the devices are conceived as disobedient objects—tools that simplify and facilitate political participation, encouraging public engagement and the reclamation of public space.

Ikea-style street posters are used to encourage the public to build, use, and develop their own disobedient objects. These posters simplify the process, much like Ikea's furniture instructions, making the concept of political engagement and public space reclamation accessible to all.

The objects are made from everyday materials, such as broomsticks and joints easily sourced from any hardware store. These simple, accessible components empower individuals to create their own disobedient objects, reinforcing the idea of DIY political participation and public space reclamation.
