Jonathon KEATS: The New Look of Neuroscience
Public Viewing, Thursday, March 16, 5:30-8PM and by appointment
Applying cutting-edge neuroscience to millennia of costume history, a multidisciplinary research initiative has achieved simultaneous breakthroughs in both fields, pioneering the next generation of wearable technology. Building on research from laboratories at Harvard and Florida State University, experimental philosopher Jonathon Keats will introduce ‘Superego Suits’ to the public in San Francisco next month.
Fully modular and customizable to all body types, Superego Suits boast multiple features to alter self-perception, augmenting wearers’ personalities for work and social life. “Today’s wearables can supplement wearers’ memories and knowledge and interactivity by connecting them to the internet,” says Mr. Keats. “But psychologically you still remain your same old self. Glassholes will be Glassholes.”
Superego Suits get to the root of the problem by altering biochemistry and brain/body communication. They can make wearers more confident and enchanting, and even connect with other Superego Suits to manage interpersonal relationships.
