EPPD #112019

Studio NOWHERE
The EPPD #112019 ( The Experimental Prototype of Project Droid ) is an evolving concept developed by our studio, in order to discuss the relationship between man, machine and nature. Based off of one of the Studio’s early research projects, the EPPD #112019 began with the investigation into a structure of a mechanical limb, using pneumatic devices and studio-made air muscles to simulate the movement of kicking for which the studio experimented with different designs from pneumatic structures to biomorphic mechanism.

With today's technologies, we have reached a point where we can not only recreate body parts and functions but deeply adapt and alter the human body. Blurring the line between body and technology leaves us with the question: To what extent will we be dependent on our body enhancements in the future?
