"A HUNT FOR HIGHTECH- Design BART HESS, DESIGN ACADEMY EINDHOVEN
Bart Hess uses metal and plastic to imitate natural hair and skin - surfaces that literally bag to be touched. Particulary interesting is the way in which Hess presents his work. In a short animated film we see his interpretation of fur grow to include human skin, as he creates a world completely unrelated to reality and current trends. No political commentary here. The home page of Hess's website offers an eye-cathing introduction to his ideas.
