Tattoos and physical mutilation are amongst the oldest forms of personal expression and identity. Subcultures have used tattoos as a form of self representation; a visual language communicating personality and status. Philips Design examined the growing trend of extreme body adornment like tattoos, piercing, implants and scarring . The Electronics Tattoo film expresses the visual power of sensitive technology applied to the human body. The film subtly leads the viewer through the simultaneous emotional and aesthetic transformations between two lovers.http://www.design.philips.com/probes/index.page

Jul 26, 2008 - Very beautiful and interesting! One of the few things that surprizes me is that we have yet to see systemic or implanted comunication devices! I'm sure it will be done, then an airline pilot could ,for instance, sit on the toilet and communicate with the tower and the autopilot...do everything hands off!
