“T H E U N S E E N is a team of varied talent including anatomists, engineers, chemists and cutters that blend biological and chemical matter into the materials we use. Having worked with brands including Swarovski Gem Stones, Hendricks Gin, Airbus and more, while exhibiting worldwide, from London Fashion week to The Royal Academy of Engineering, and having received numerous significant awards and acknowledgements, our newest project has seen the creation of an ink that, when used in clothing, changes colour in response to digital data. Be it through EEG conductivity, body scavenged data or controlled via a mobile web app, the flexible textiles shift colours and hues from pastels, to vibrant colours or grey tones controlled via a digital switch. As founder and Material Alchemist of T H E U N S E E N, I look forward to showcasing our vision, collaborative work and potential applications of the Eighthsense Technology.”

Laura Bowker, T H E U N S E E N
