“(…) This project – which suggests a second skin encapsulating our body – is supposed to show and remind us of our true selves by displaying real emotions. By combining bioplastic with thermochromic pigments, the group created a material, that turns white when reaching a temperature above 34°C and hence reacts to the body of the person wearing it. The product is thus able to detect and record for example physiological signs of stress and excitement by measuring temperature changes in the skin and is, therefore, able to communicate human feelings that might otherwise remain invisible.”
