EPHEMERAL ANATOMY

Inspired by the human anatomy, this project touches the narrow boundaries between decay and reinforcement of the human body as a source of its aesthetics. It's about an add-on element for an already existing Orthosis to embed new functions instead of the originals. The typology of human decay to extend its actual body was the starting point for creating an intelligent speculative device. Its wires can learn and store information as muscle threats can do. They are connected with the neural system to respond to emotions, they can grew and shrink for special needs like better stability and they are flexible.
