when a Hong Kong girl puts on these

wedges post and fas decorated with crystals

or with hello kitty or a girl in london

use this lush hair that really

They are extensions of hair or a girl

in china use these false eyelashes and

with great skill they put the meter

that invites us to reflect on the power

of beauty and what are all the

possibilities that the industry of the

beauty does not come down

However, if we think about

the beauty products have not changed

a lot

we use moisturizer to increase our

skin

we use this these eye shadows for

Coloring our eyelids or shampoo for

clean our hair

then the functionality of the

cosmetics has not changed anything

although it is true we have better

manufacture process

we have better materials but like the

that beauty products are used

keep doing the same

I have a red lipstick mom has

the red nightmare

my granny has red lipstick

my proposal is how is it that we can

make the surface to our body

these two square meters of skin that

we have can make a platform

integration and how can we do that

these traditional cosmetics are

come back interactive called this from

beauty technology which is a way of

Electronic hide inside

beauty products to make your

body surface on the platform

integration then imagine that with

the simple fact of blinking can

turn on the light or that contained nail could you

pay the meter or with the simple fact of

touch your hair

you could record a conversation and everything

this can be a reality

today we have technology that is much

more powerful the day is much smaller

today you can buy it

watch that sends you notifications when

comes an email or a ring that knows

how many steps you take and creativity is

doing

if we think about that we can

think that we can have technology not

only in clothes or accessories but

also in our body because the day

today I am saying this clothes I am

wearing their earrings this watch the day of

tomorrow could be another

how can we do that we can have

technology or devices that are not

have an electronic aspect and that

can be part of our style

staff and to address this phenomenon

I bring you biotechnology today and I’m going to

show some examples

then we can if we think

the hair the hair is something that

we can see is visible to

everybody

Call it public but also

private because it is part of your body

and is also more viable because I can

make different styles and preferences

personal or preferences and even

cultural or religious

but the hair is also a

communication tool

we touch our hair like a

an unconscious behavior that does not

we realize

we touch our hair when we are very

thoughtful or when we are very

nervous to calm down we do not touch

the hair we tore the hair a finger

as imitating the innocence of a girl

as if it were a tool of

flirtation

but what do you think if we use these

unconscious behaviors but

consciously to activate others

devices as is that all these

operations that we have done with our

hair could be transported to be

as if it were a remote control for

other devices

this project is called hardware that are

hair extensions that were

chemically metallized to detect

the touch as if it were your screen

cell phone

then in this case each extension of

hair can activate some application

because it is connected via bluetooth

cellular then for the simple fact of

touching your hair could send a

message or with the simple act of touching

the hair as if it were an agent

secret could record a conversation

When the danger fails you will not take

your phone to send a message the

police or your family

then with the simple act of touching your

Hair could send your location

you could take with professions more

fun now you go out

the surface of our body

they are also our signs imagine

that we can with your the one nail

You could pay the meter with another of them

you could pay starbucks or like another

you could open the door of your office

all these cards that we have in

our wallets could have them in

the tip of your videos

obviously these are not nails

conventional are the nails that have

a chip that is an error efe and that is

a unique identifier that can

determine who you are because you are

reading this information from your finger

then for example we could and with the

simple fact of approaching your finger to

Reader could already recognize who you are

as for example in this case they are

these nails that each of them is a

musical note different account no

we need to touch the device to

that is recognized

then we could put other

materials around about

device instead of air as per

example water I ‘m going to show you a video

which shows that a controller dj

in the water that shows a dj to put

your nails inside the aquarium and every time

what does it change a different treatment or

a different sound effect

plus

[Applause]

this other project is called canta

conductive makeup chemistry then

what we did was to use these

lashes that are lashes that the

you can find at any pharmacy and

that the women

We use false eyelashes and with

a metallized chemical process for

Make them look like lashes

conventional but they really are

conductive then imagine yourself putting

one at the top of the park gives

one of the lower part of the eyelid

we could detect the blink and be

connected to a conductive makeup a

circuit hidden in the hair could

activate devices

then what would be the superpower that

could have the simple fact of eyelashes

to and here for example we have I do not know anymore

or less some applications that do this

we must arcana that is a project that is

an actress who on stage can

change lights and music with the

simple fact of tab or this other

project that super hero that with the

simple fact of blinking we have the

superpower of avoiding objects that is a

drone flying to with simple fact of

Spain and well that I in my time

free I’m a superhero and good to this

super hero project was presented in

several places in several fairs and one

Once I was in Brazil and someone is me

approached a man is felipe

he was six times Brazilian champion in

Jiu Jitsu twice world champion and

unfortunately he suffers an accident and

currently can not move the body

he has a disability of plagiarism and

he told me that there are things that are very

simple for us as for example

the fact of changing channel that for him

many times is 30 minutes that are 30

minutes of your life that you are not doing

oh and that he would like to be a superhero that

have the independence to be able to change

channel

but obviously I was not going to put

make up a boy then and we create

this other project that is as if it were

a second skin

a second skin that can detect the

muscle movements

then to the blinking could with the

left and right eye change channel

and with both eyes turn on or off the

television and I really like shows this

image because after 13 years felipe

he could turn on the television by himself and

Now I ‘m going to show you a video that was

inspired by felipe and this is a video

of art that was made by

Peruvian professionals where they show

this idea where can we how is that

we can make your face a

interface then we create this second

skin using makeup effects

specials that use them in hollywood

to make a big nose or to make

a wound and with it with sensors that

are hidden we could detect the

blink raise a brow a smile or

close lips

we are going to destroy or

[Music]

[Music]

technologies is not a product is a

concept a concept that can be

applied to many areas like to the

security

if you touch your hair and you want to send

a message to the police as to health

if we put ourselves to put to think in

the felipe case on a day-to-day basis and for

you give your coffee with tummy or any other

situation is that we can think

even in art and this is one of

the things that I come to bring you

I come to bring something to share

what I do and it’s a way of how it is

that you can mix cosmetics with

electronic devices to make your body

be an integration platform for

make every each move that

we can do can be like that

hidden and can do as a

interaction platform for

different devices

then not only the electronics

they are hidden but also the

integration we do with the

devices can be hidden in the

touch a hair in a smile and to

It is very important for me to come and show you

that here to you because it is a way

to share

I am a teacher and also a researcher

and what I do is create different

interfaces or reinvent concepts

around the body using either

makeup or tattoos and it’s a way of

power

re invent and create technology and create

technology with a serious limitation that

it’s imagination and where magic plays

also a transcendental role and it is and

this all these projects are in

several of our academic articles

inclusive in this book where they can

find ipi are available for

all because we think that the

knowledge must be free and not

only 80 who should be

creating these devices but also

it can be any of you or some

of your children nephews or friends who

they may also have the possibility of

even create these projects are not

they are not simply developing in

our laboratory

even some start up are being

using these ideas as a way of

to create new ideas like for example

dagger for the london subway

China and Japan and I invite you to think

on how you can reuse your

body where technology not only

can be in clothes accessories but

also in your hair on your nails or in

your skin

thank you very much
