I guess we started working together because we were talking about a lot of ideas, and it was not possible to realise these ideas in the brief of an electronic tattoo, which we were working on at Philips in the probes team. The Philips work is a far future design reseach programme looking fifteen to twenty years into the future. The programme explores the human body and suggests that our bodies are increasingly becoming a platform for sensitive and interactive technology, the project accelerates a vision for next generation sensitive technology mounted under the skin, where subcutaneous display could be augmented by human sensation, gesture and touch (www.design.philips.com/probes). So anyway, we started collaborating one evening doing fun things, wrapping our heads in sticky-tape and from there it all began… creating work together just in our spare time.” – Lucy McRae
