Skin as the New Interface

BirthmarkTattoo

I've stumbled upon a few interesting projects that use skin as an interface. The latest is Birthmarks Tattoo by Arjan Groot and Menno Wittebrood. The birthmark tattoos use Braille as a way of infusing skin with an abstract message.

Philips Design also developed a very sensual concept video that uses the skin as both an expressive and aesthetic interface.

Self-destructive Object

Lastly, designer Yu-Chiao Wang is developing interesting concepts around her 'Self-destructive Object" series that design and decorate the body.
