nanoPaper

the Skin Diary and scaffold nourishment device.
✦nanoPaper is a paper-like bioengineered scaffold that supports the growth and preservation of skin cells. What if one could write a diary of his own skin? Could this technology trigger a new form of fetichism? How would this change the landscape of all the things we use with paper, or that of all the products we use for our skin?
