Together with TU Delft and their Crossing Parralels program artist Mette Sterre develops The Octopus Suit as a result of research into the transformative capabilities of an Octopus (skin), creating hybrid beings, dissolving the boundaries between mind body, human and non-human.
Octopus Love
The octopus skin suits from Mette Sterre researches how the transformative qualities of octopus skin can be mimicked and made wearable in an ongoing research using soft robotics and lenticular printing techniques.
Her fascination started when night diving and saw the incredible transformative powers of the octopus; not only changing colours, but also changing shape to blend in its surroundings, she fall instantly in love.
This was the starting point to create a series of carnivalesque bodymasks, combing new technologies with hand made aesthetics.
By using generative design tools, lasercutting, soft robotics, perspex, 3d and lenticular printing, colour changing liquid chambers, pneumatics to create a serie of new octopus-human hybrids.
