Prothesis Gallivantis questions an outdated view of prostheses, one where they are seen as clumsy and inhumane. The body extensions are not functional, but purely impressionistic, made for flirting with your body and use dance as a narrative medium. To make awkward but elegant shapes with prosthetics.

In Islam, the soul (Al-Ruh) primarily refers to the breath of life blown into a living creature by God, which departs the physical body when you die.
As a Muslim, it’s essential to note that I do not aim to showcase a soul but only its metaphoric journey.

Nowadays everyone wants to keep up with their online social life and status, even when you become a parent, right? In this design, a small screen is placed in a baby’s outfit, which can be navigated through the gray areas of the outfit. The baby will feel like getting all the attention and will not even realize that your focus is on the web; a win-win situation?

What will humanity look like in the future, in this case, what do people look like when they live underwater?

Fashion. Take a look at the development of Maartje’s latest collection: use of a 3D pen gives a personal, natural touch to the otherwise geometric perfection of 3D printing. The shimmering materials and metallic effects simulates the look of the minerals and crystals formed over millions of years by the shifting of the earth’s plates. Each design contains about 900 hours of work: a piece of cake compared to the time taken by Mother Earth.

The virtual alter-ego of Oscar Wagenmans – a Dutch theatre director and actor – SaveMe Oh is an infamous character in Second Life, where she is often labelled as a troll, griefer and even virus. The artistic community of Linden Lab’s virtual world is terrified by the idea that SaveMe Oh could show up unannounced during a vernissage, creating havoc. In the attempt to prevent a possible raid, the sims (or rather her haters) have been trying to protect themselves by banning her since 2007, when Wagenmans first appeared online. SaveMe Oh’s interventions in Second Life disrupt both the social conventions and shared rules of the real world, which are replicated online. Why do people feel obliged to act in Second Life as if they were in IRL, instead of realizing their full creative potential? This is the key question posed by SaveMe Oh.
