Do what? “It’s a mask.” I said. Walking into the grocery story on 5th avenue, you would think the typical stares, the people piling their probiotic drinks and organic nut bars into their recyclable bags, would be fewer. That is until a baby cries and his big sister yells, “HIS FACE SKIN IS A GENERATIVE POLYMIDE FIBER STRUCTURE ENCASING HIS SKULL, MAMA!” It’s all quiet. An orange falls offf the display. Fortunately, the mask conceals that single tear. Mainstream acceptance of 3D printed masks may be a few years off, but as an art form, displayed throughout various galleries around the world, it’s quite the interest. Especially when software is developed to capture and create the unique structures wrapping the gourd. DO THE MUTATION did just that, developing the COLLAGENE mask editor to form customized masks for three different people.
