custom electronic circuitry for the body<\/p>\n

Is there a way that skin could be a substrate for circuitry?\u00c2\u00a0 Could an electric current safely travel along the contours of your body? The answer, as four students at London’s Royal College of Art have proven, is yes.<\/p>\n

Bare<\/a> is a non-toxic, removable ink applied directly onto skin that can safely channel an electric charge.<\/strong> With Bare conductive ink, it is possible to paint a path of electronic circuitry. Carbon and metallic based, conductive inks have been around for quite awhile, but Bare was developed to be “an intuitive and non-invasive technology which will allow users to bridge the gap between electronics and the body.” Imagine a temporary tattoo that can power a light bulb\u00e2\u20ac\u201da digital age henna that works like a battery.<\/p>\n

The creators of Bare\u00e2\u20ac\u201dMatt Johnson, Isabel Lizardi, Bibi Nelson, and Becky Pilditch\u00e2\u20ac\u201dset up an experiment for a sound creation dance performance. You can watch the video by clicking on the screen shot below.<\/p>\n

Calvin Harris performed his single “Ready for the Weekend” on a Human Synthesizer made up of several women wearing bikinis and Bare conductive ink.<\/p>\n

If you want to see the ink in action, Bare will be exhibiting at HUMAN NATURE Festival Ars Electronica<\/a> in Linz, Austrial 3\u00e2\u20ac\u201c8 September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
