Lucy and Bart

                              

The Phillips design Probe Dress programme directed by Clive Van Heerden looked at next generation sensitive technology. 
The 'Skin Probe Dress' is an interactive dress that shows  how the body and near environment uses color and pattern change to predict emotional state. 










Design collaboration LucyandBart create mutated human forms that are unsettling but extremely powerful. In the process they discover low-tech prosthetic ways for human enhancement. While LucyandBart prescribe to common materials the visual intrigue is amazing.

 Their designs provoke our ideals about beauty and superficial judgement. 

Are these transformations an improvement on human from? Or is their vision an impeded one?
Perhaps most shocking is the lucid acceptance, clearly not hiding the imperfections and oddities that society mostly trains us to be ashamed of.
