Sensbiom 2

Sensbiom embodies ongoing research by designers and biologists at crafting plastics! studio and DumoLab Research as a multidisciplinary collaborative effort to explore senseable, biochemically-augmented, environmentally-active biomaterials, to map new relationships between humans and the ever-changing environment. SENSBIOM 2 is a playful installation that proposes a future where objects help humans reconnect with the planet using environmentally interactive materials derived from renewable resources. In SENSBIOM 2 a collection of biopolymer lattices are able to change color evidencing UVR exposure by signaling real-time changes in the city’s solar radiation to make visitors aware of invisible threats harming 3 million people’s eyes and skin globally every year.
