The Epidigital Patch impregnates the epidermis with nanodots that interact to raise timekeeping graphics on the surface of the user’s skin. Composed entirely of organic matter, the nanodots dissolve after several days and can be replaced by applying a fresh patch. The Epidigital Patch thus brings together ritual scarification and science fiction in a functional application.
Chochinov: Exceptionally well executed and realistic to the point of spooky, the Epidigital Patch masterfully marries adornment with utility. This actually looks like the future of time.
