‘The Living Collection’ explored issues of speeds and lifecycles of products. The work is a set of underwear, designed to offer anti-bacterial properties through impregnated synthetic mycelium that eats sweat and body odour. Designed and manufactured by StudioBIO; a hypothetical biodesign start-up interested in developing a new material for use in production as a more sustainable replacement to existing cotton underwear. There are two components to the work; one is an actual product packaged, branded and labelled, the other is a marketing campaign for the product.
