BLOGS_
ANAT Blogs allow our residency, mentorship and emerging technology programs to be accessible to a global audience. Each Blog is as individual as the project itself - containing research findings, personal moments and creative insights.
Leah Heiss
Leah Heiss's residency will address the following parallel concerns: Is it possible to augment our garments and artefacts with extra functionalities – the power to heal, correct and treat our physical ailments? And, how can the changing colour of our jewellery or the shape transformation of our wound dressing communicate to us about our physical and emotional health and well-being?
