SUMMARY:

She called herself a “body architect”. As a body architect, she is fascinated with the human body and explore how can transform them. She is looking 20 years into the future, she was exploring the human skin and how technology can transform the body, and she went to concept that electronic tattoo which is movemented by touch or dresses of plastic with lat. She started her own experiments; she started the collaboration with a friend, he doesn’t know he’ll be like this. They transform their apartments into laborites and went to a very spontaneous and a media way. They will be creating visual symmetry provoking human evolution. Something that is between, like for example not gas and not liquid, made her became obsessive with the idea of blearing this in the body, so you couldn’t see where the skin enter and the new environment started. She uses to experiment with herself and she´s fascinated with the idea of what happen if you match biology with technology, she remember she was reading about this idea of being able to reprogram biology in the future, and she tough about this concept imagining if we can reprogram our own body out of modify biologically and handsome and how would that change the way that we communicate with each other or the way that we attract sexual partners and we would be more like animals more prime way to communication. And she created a perfume pill, which is a cosmetic pill that you eat and the fragrance comes out of the skin when you just transpire. It completely change the way the thing perfume is, its perfume coming from inside to out.

She is looking for the evolution of the world, she can see trends and connections that make sense but when she looks to all the future, the next project is completely unknowing. She feels that she can have all these ideas existing embedded inside of her. As a body architect she has created all these limited less for her to discover whatever she wants. And she feel she just have started.

PERSONAL REACTION:

It's really interesting to see these people trying to look at the future and his develop in our bodies. I was surprised of what she shows in the video because of the imagination she had to do those things and also because of the way she is obsessionated with this. I think it's not bad to think in the future because is where we are going to live tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, etc. and... if we could have a vision of the technology, why not about technology in our bodies?
