Project description

Glycognize presents a bold and unsettling future-oriented design concept, successfully transforming the invisible energy cost of AI into a visceral bodily question. The project is especially compelling in its use of the Subdermal Energy Exchange Interface as both technological device and symbolic ornament. A small suggestion would be to further develop the material, interface, and user-experience logic of the device, so the speculative system can feel even more convincingly embedded within everyday life and social hierarchy. Overall, this is a conceptually sharp, visually memorable, and ethically charged project.
