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

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]

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
