“Covid object” is a label fit to any product in close relation with the pandemic. This research’s goal is to find out what these objects are, what was the price fluctuation and how the open-source community reacted when the production chain failed to deliver the needed goods.

Protocol 01
Which are the covid-related products sold worldwide on the Amazon marketplaces?

Protocol 02
Which were the most sold products in Italy during the pandemic and how did their price fluctuate through time?

Protocol 03
How did the open source communities react to the sudden need of medical supplies in the context of Covid-19?

The goal of the research is to objectively depict the global approach to “covid objects” to better understand the materiality of covid in this post-pandemic future.
