a new type of media for the post-human

In a world where humans and machines are no longer separated entities, a new type of media has to emerge and symbiotically merge the two.

Concept [skin] is a wearable device that extends communication abilities beyond language.

It extends the skin's sensory faculties in order to exchange through touch. Using a soft actuation system and computer recognition, the devices are able to exchange physical media between them based on their location and intents.

Patterns - Inner pattern

The extension is inside-out, derived and emerged from the biological properties of the human body.

The extension is consequentially an extrusion.

The inner pattern is connecting the senseless machine with the senseful human body.

Exploring micro patterns

Studying different types of patterns and textures, we came up with a synthesized synesthetic inner layer that will cause new senses for the human skin.

Patterns - Outside layer

- Clear pattern, good for recognition - Has difference between deflated and inglated state

22

- Bad for patter recognition because pattern merges with background - Has difference between deflated and inglated state

The outer pattern complements the communication between human, communication that is facilitated through a middle layer which is the machine and computer vision.

iteration01, poncho

Prototypes We have developed two iterations studying the assembly, fit, and experience of the wearable. The first one, a poncho, didn't incorporate any computer vison capabilities and was solely made to test assembly and inflation patterns. The wearables were cast into platinum cure silicone using digitaly fabricated molds.

iteration02, vest

Researching different microscopical details of biological frameworks, we were able to exponentially scale the found geometries and the relationship within in order to produce patterns that will not only be derived from the human, but will also tend to reinvent the human.

The costume was designed in order to accommodate and relate to the most sensitive areas of the human body.

Sketches were made to find a form that will maximize the relationship between the machine and the human and to enhance the interaction between humans through a new type of conversation.

Coding

1 RANGE - APPROACHING (1,5 m) When costume senses someone approaching (in costume we mimic it with button because ultrasonic is very innacurate for this distance) it starts long air pulsation. Led light turns in rythm of "air in" or inflating interval.

2 RANGE - CLOSE (0,4 m) When costume senses someone close with ultrasonic sensor, the air pulsation becomes faster. Led light turns in rythm of "air in" or inflating interval.

3 RANGE - TOUCH When costume senses someone close with ultrasonic sensor and touching with touch sensor, the air pulsation becomes extremely fast. Led light turns in rythm of "air in" or inflating interval.
