The researchers and artists behind Life Ink Community invite visitors, creatives and potential partners to join them for a daily interactive demo. Participants will be able to experience Life Ink, learn about the wider collaboration, and help shape its future.
Guided by the team participants put on biosensors, immerse themselves in a reactive soundscape, peek into their Life Ink in glasses-free stereoscopic 3D as the audience witnesses the ever-changing expression of their inner states.
