Bare is a specially formulated interative body paint by designers Bibi Nelson, Matt Johnson, Isabel Lizard, and Becky Pilditch that allows direct communication with electronic devices. It is composed of non-metallic conductive particles suspended in food and cosmetic additives. The paint is non-toxic and temporary and can be washed off with regular soap and water. The circuitry between the ink and the electronic device is completed when the small electrodes are placed directly on to the skin, which in turn transmits the data. Areas of application include dance, music, computer interfaces, communication and medical devices. "Bare is an intuitive and non-invasive technology which will allow users to bridge the gap between electronics and the body."
