FEED ME KILL ME SUSTAIN ME
Humans have used piercing, tattoos, scarification, plastic surgery and numerous other means of body modification to communicate. But what if we could grow a new skin? A skin we could feed, heal and sustain. This skin could receive all our online communications and data.
Would you FEED it?
Would you KILL it?
Or will you….
SUSTAIN it?
It is your choice.
These vessels contain a Scoby (Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and yeast)
The Scoby has the potential to be worn as a skin that feeds you your online information.
The Scoby is living.
