To connect our desire to digital technologies


Philips Design Electric Tattoo. When someone touches someone's skin, a tattoo is drawn from the place he/she touches. Phillips design says "Simulated by touch, an Electronic Tattoo traverses across the landscape of the body, navigated by desire." The word "navigated by desire" reminds me of drawing something with my fingers on the beach. When I draws something with my fingers on the beach, I feel more directness than drawing with pencil or pen. I become more free to draw. I don't know what the trained painter think about this, however I feel more direct and free when I draw with my finger on the beach. Finger is not tool like a pencil or pen but a part of my body, therefore this may bring me a fundamental feeling for drawing. Because of the fundamental feeling, I don't care what I draw, I just draw. Although I can't understand what I draw, it is very good feeling. Good or not is the problem for me. When I begin to write about Phillips Design Electronic Tattoo, I consider the above. Now, we have to connect our desire to digital technologies in order to consider about the fundamental relationship between us and our environment for  generating good feeling from our body. If the Electric Tattoo reminds us of the fundamental relationship, the Tattoo which we draw marks on our skin brings us to our ancient feelings in our body. Moreover, the digital technology may make the ancient feelings vivid for us now. Even though We insist on own identity with wearing clothes or hair styles now, the Electric Tattoo will play that role in our life. Not drawing tattoo on our skin, but displaying air tag or something around our body through AR technology play the important role to show own identity.
