Photodermis
“Photodermis” is a theoretical-scientific, experimental and speculative research, which proposes a Renewable Energy System that is biodegradable, local and autonomous. The study focuses on the research area of Smart Inks, using them with the aim of creating a photosynthetic skin for the human body, which generates energy from light harvesting.
Based on rigorous analysis and research, “Photodermis” is shaped by imaginative, controversial and inspiring qualities. The proposal projects a provocative future in which an incipient technology, based on Dye Sensitized Solar Cells, addresses the collective commitment to eco-social change. Thus, future avenues of research are opened, while questions are generated that act as catalysts towards a technological and social rethinking.

Facing this type of complex problems often requires a certain amount of collective and creative work. Imaginative and promising alternatives must be sought from different fields of knowledge. For this reason, Photodermis is approached from the areas of engineering and design, using methodologies characteristic of both branches.
