ANNA BIELSKA - WETWARE

Wetware is a speculative design for interfaces that are sensitive, wet, and leave a mark on the user. An interface is where two systems influence each other, or a device that allows a user to interact with a machine, this one, however, is wet. It’s a set of sensory organs, not flat like touchscreens. Its jelly-like, responsive flesh reacts to your touch with sonic feedback, creating an intimate and immersive dialogue between human and machine.
