UBIQUITOUS STATES

Body Ubiquitous States is a bio-feedback performance by new media performance artist Tiffany Trenda, 3D Systems, and designer Janne Kyttanen. It highlights the future of wearable design with a 3D printed dress that has an embedded computer screen.

During the performance, the artist places as sensor on the participants wrist, allowing the screen to display the heartbeats of Trenda and the public/participant. The sensor also enables both parties to listen and potentially match their rhythms. 

This performance explores the impact of 3D printing, animation, and sensor-based systems on our lives, questioning the authenticity of our behaviors. It addresses how we live in both the physical and simulated worlds simultaneously, making it challenging for us to fully engage in the present. The piece premiered at Context Art Miami and was performed at The Broad Art Museum and Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art.
