As part of my photo project about ecology, I tried to focus more on a solution than on a problem as we usually do when we think about pollution, destruction, etc. while I was thinking on what I can possibly do, I came with the idea to combine my major on biotechnology with its intersection with art and design, at this time a lot of people have told me that biotech has nothing to do with design at all, but sometimes we ignore what we cannot understand, when I changed my major I didn’t knew it either but there’s always a little faith and possibility at the end. So I tried to think of different ideas to represent these two branches into one, my first thought was to use Petri dishes and different color lights as it is seen on science photos (and more attractive), then one by one I was thinking of building these four elements inspired by some previous research, first it was the dress out of algae, then the building out of bacteria concrete, third the shoe out of spider modified silk and finally the chair made out of fungi. I explained this idea to the photographer in lead and he loved the idea…I was so excited to get this idea in to the making and into reality, I spend a couple of days collecting everything I needed and making up these prototypes, then improvise a little “studio” on my room, set up all the lights and started photoshooting.

With this Biodesign: Four Future Elements project I intend to represent and let people know about future materials and technologies, the intersection of art, design and biotechnology (it does exist) and its possible applications…  

The final photo was shown in the Museo El Centenario from Feb 17th to 19th in San Pedro Garza Garcia, NL, Mexico.

Material world: What future wearables will be made of - PAPER

Photo credit: Purdue University photo/ Vaibhav Jain, Manuel Ochoa

Researchers from Purdue University have devised a paper-based patch that changes colour to show different levels of hydration. The palm-sized patch is made from filter paper that's been laser-machined to create a radial array of strips. These are laminated with a waterproof film, forming a series of micro channels which are then loaded with a water-activated dye at one end. As sweat levels increase, the strips are activated in sequence, changing from blue to red to give an at-a-glance indicator of hydration levels.

The inventors have filed for a patent and believe that the design could be most useful for marathon runners and military personnel, though it's possible that the technology could be integrated into mainstream trackers in some way in future.

The New Age of Trichology - HARNESSING THE POTENTIAL OF HAIR

How can we use human hair waste to create new materials and design outputs?

Human hair is a natural resource that will be increasing in the future since the world’s population is rapidly rising. The UK alone ‘creates’ around 6.5 million kilograms of human hair waste annually, which mostly ends up in landfill or slowly decays in the environment. This causes several problems for both the environment and human health, releasing toxic gasses and choking the drainage system. However, human hair has many valuable properties; it has a high tensile strength, is thermally insulating, flexible, oil-absorbent and is light weight.

This project explores the pure potential of hair as a raw material, reducing waste, environmental problems and the pressure on other non-renewable materials. The project consists of a range of utilitarian objects and tools that helps create a system all the way from collection through to the end application.

THE SYSTEM

A closed-loop-system

A key design element for The New Age of Trichology is the system that needs to be put into place as this is a new way to use this material waste stream. The New Age of Trichology created a method of producing a material by using other existing crafts and using a waste stream. In this case focused on the tensile strength of the human hair fibre, where spinning and ropemaking techniques are applied. The system is a closed loop system in a way that the raw material collected at the beginning remains additive free and can go straight back into nature at the end of it’s life cycle, through composting or recycling.

QUALITIES

insights

Other than the high-volume of hair that is available in any locality, human hair has multiple, valuable properties. On average, one human hair can hold up to 100 grams of weight, depending on the person’s diet, health, environment, ethnical background and treatment of hair. So, potentially a whole head of hair could withstand a weight of 12 tonnes.

It is not only high in tensile strength, thermal insulation, oil-absorption and flexibility it is also extremely lightweight. Looking at the differences of hair type by ethnical background, there are a few clear facts about the hair fibres. For example, Asian hair growth is the fastest, about 15 cm a year, whereas Caucasian hair grows 13cm a year and Afro hair 10cm a year. Focusing on its strength, African hair seems to be the most fragile, breaking under a strain of 60 grams after an elongation of 40%. At the other end of the scale, Asian hair is the strongest, withstanding a weight of 100 grams and an elongation of 55% for a single hair.

The products below are all made from Asian human hair waste, starting with a 2-ply yarn (minimum breaking load of 32kgs) which are then turned into ropes.

The New Age of Trichology aims to further develop other techniques and materials focusing on different properties such as the thermal insulation, oil – absorption and flexibility of hair. Areas that could be a potential context and which is most needed on a social and economic level, are areas such as the agriculture, medical, construction and engineering industry. Collaborations with more experts and professionals in the field could allow further development of this system on a more accurate and larger scale.
