wearables proposal
10.6.05
I aim to create a wearable project which explores the possibility of technology integrating our relationship to the "natural world".
Simultaneously, addressing the issues of "human made" as natural, and human-made technologies as means of integrating with the "natural" environment.
I will specifically focuses on the idea that computational and biological technology while being human constructs, can help us find a way back to integrating with non- human systems if the intention is one of integration, rather than domination.
Project ideas include:
1. artibator an incubator for artificial skin. artificial skin as a biological material, both aesthetically and medically relevant.
2. biografitti disseminator a wearable which allows you to germinate your environment with your choice of seed distribution
3. enviromotion mapping environmental conditions to change personal emotional conditions through color. detecting the need for color in a room, and changing the color of the wearable
