Process

The Morphing Matter lab has been working to create "temporary tattoo" structures that can be worn directly on the skin, with the tattoo "ink" being a conductive film. This leaves a lot of opportunity for potential uses. Currently, we're working on 3D, changing tattoos. The tattoo consists of two sheets of a translucent silicone that closes around a bubble shape. The bubble shape is injected with a liquid whose boiling point lies very close to atmospheric conditions.  In this scenario, we would supply power to the bubble in order to heat up and boil the liquid and make the bubble expand. I wanted to see if this technology was applicable to clothing and fashion.
