This project touches the esthetic sensibility of a conjunction of microforms, analyzes and works with the infinite possibilities of combination that happen with the modification of only one basic element.
EMICO (/ˈeː.mi.koː/), formed by the prefix ē- and the verb micō, is a Latin word that means “appearing suddenly”. Inspired by the structure and movements of the mouth of sea urchins — a chewing organ made up of five hollow teeth — the project aims to create a responsive interface that allows the audience to become a part of an artwork through participation. The interactive surface is activated and controlled by external stimulation, whereby the viewers, through physical movements and the changing of proximity, can induce direct motion responses. By inviting the viewers to play an active role in the experience, the boundary between the work and its audience is eliminated, and thus facilitates a dynamic relationship between the two. The installation consists of a total of 14 identical units, each made up of a framework constructed with an MDF panel overlaid with a layer of PVC. The panel is attached with five movable inserts made out of elastic fabric, which could be seen through the circular cut-out at the centre. Using motion sensors connected to the panels, the five tooth-like inserts appear, disappear and reappear at various speeds according to the distance between the audience and the installation. The movement, which resembles the natural opening and closing of a sea urchin’s mouth, is generated through servo motors, and the responses of the panels are arranged in an irregular sequence to create an element of surprise and playfulness.

The dendritic cells were taken as inspiration in order to develop networks suitable to adapt into different spaces, shapes and environments.
To reconstruct the cell´s connecting structure on a different scale and with a different material, it was crucial to meet the mechanic as well as the organic properties of the natural model. For starting, the aspects of elasticity, durability and resistance were reprocessed trough the analisis and experimentation with natural latex. The material also takes on organic modular shapes creating an appealing surface. Furthermore it has the ability to serve as a carrying membrane while at the same time being usable as a cover to any possible area or shape. The design combines simplicity in aesthetics with a significant adaptability to various shapes creating a biomimetic versatile textile.
