Given the rate of miniaturisation of the picoprojector technology and observing the trend of wearables treated more as jewellery and fashion accessories rather than just gadgets, we predict that wearable projection and projection-based jewellery become a reality in a few years.
The Polish interdisciplinary new media design and art group panGenerator is currently committed to create a standalone version of the project and they are opened for funding and collaboration.
Neclumi is a speculative layer in this project and the creators are posing a question if in the world where we’re having less and less in terms of physical goods (music streaming instead of CD, e-books instead of paper copies etc ) the same logic might be applied for other areas.
Could we focus on abstract aesthetic values instead of physical form and economic worth? Is that valid expectation that we might some day abandon atoms of gold for the waves of light? Probably not, but it’s nice thought experiment nonetheless.
