The technology of modern control tends to simplify the complexity of human beings, often neglecting the richness of diverse experiences and individualities. This reduction can lead to limited views of human identity.

We propose “material symbiosis”: a concept that transcends conventional representations of the human body by exploring innovative forms, textures, colors, and sounds. This trend celebrates the complexity and multiplicity of the human being, integrating technology with evocative elements of the monster as a positive symbol of diversity.

By incorporating “material symbiosis” into AI learning processes, we aim to build a future where technology not only respects but celebrates individual and collective differences.

The body becomes an active participant, generating matter through movement, with prosthetics that dynamically adapt. Every technological accessory, similar to a second skin, interacts with others digitally, analogically, or collaboratively, contributing to the creation of a final costume that represents human variety.

The goal is to create a costume composed of bodies and skins that, once assembled, celebrate humanity in its complexity. This vision enriches technology with new aesthetic and functional meanings, embracing a future that recognizes and respects human diversity.
