Whoa!
An Israeli student named Naomi Kizhner has developed jewelry that charges your smart devices by harnessing your body’s natural energy and converting it into a power source.
She developed three designs: the Blinker, the E-Pulse and the Blood Bridge. This is freaky, but the Blood Bridge actually has to be inserted into the user’s vein to be able to work.
The pieces are part of her Energy Addicts project, which is both an art project as well as a social experiment.
She says:
I wanted to provoke the thought about how far will we go to in order to ‘feed’ our addiction in the world of declining resources. There are lots of developments of renewable energy resources, but the human body is a natural resource for energy that is constantly renewed, as long as we are alive.
I wanted to explore the post-humanistic approach that sees the human body as a resource… Will we be willing to sacrifice our bodies in order to produce more energy? My intention is to provoke a discussion.
We’re very impressed with her concept, but not many people may be willing to implant metal into their skin for the sake of their phone’s battery.
Would you wear these jewelry? Check out the other two designs below!
