Second Skin



What is it?
Tattoos

What makes this design different or better?
The images show a simulation of some possibilities for future tattboos. The concept is the use of skin as a media to print photos, graphic patterns, advertising... In the future, some kind of machine could be invented so that body skin could be printed on temporarily or permanently.

Suggestions on some subjects are brought up in this project: Man vs. Machine, Man vs. Nature, Man vs. Graphic Drawings (Patterns), Man vs. Advertising. At a time when everything is communication, this second skin could be seen as a demonstration of pure body art used for personal pleasure or as advertising on a different media.

Today we are bombarded from all directions with all kinds of information: daily news, art, but above all, advertising. This way, perhaps, someday in the future, our bodies could be made useful to sell products or services. Who knows?

What hardware and software were used to design it?
Slides projected on human bodies.

How is it intended to be manufactured or produced?
In the future, who knows?
