Artists have always served as catalysts for real-world inspiration and innovation, particularly in the realm of technology. This exhibition presents the creations of two artists working toward the enhancement of physical function and expansion via their works. Katia Vega, an assistant professor at the Department of Design in the University of California, Davis, specializes in interactive cosmetics such as nail tips, false eyelashes, and hair extensions that can control data. Genta Kondo, a creator of prosthetic arms, presents his 3D-printable Hackberry robotic prosthetic arm, available to people around the world through open-source data, among other creations, prototypes, and attachments developed in recent years.
